Few Of Us Get Exposed To Differing Types Of Music As We Used To When Tunes Were Not Sliced, Diced And Targeted To Particular Market Segments.
CHICAGO As I scrolled through my Twitter timeline last Sun. night, the MTV Video Music Awards-related tweets gave me that downcast ache some of the people get when they realize they're ageing and are no longer in touch with young people's passions.
I haven't studied a music award show in many years and, though Lady Gaga, Beyonce and Katy Perry are familiar from the mag covers I see at the corner store checkout, their music has never reached, not to mention touched, me.
I miss how music used to be more of a communal experience. Today electronic jukeboxes like iTunes, niche of list of radio stations, satellite and streaming Web radio let everyone listen only to whatever music they like. Few of us get exposed to differing types of music as we used to when tunes weren't sliced, cubed and aimed at particular market segments.
Remember when it looked as if everybody listened to Casey Kasem's Top forty? Today Billboard has so many chartsradio songs, digital songs and ring tones, plus 29 different genres such as rock, classical, "Latin," and "kids"I don't know where to start.
This is not always a bad thing, but I'm a sap for a period when "popular" music, aka pop, suggested delicate societal shifts.
For example, think back to 1984 when huge audiences tuned into the 2 annual music award shows and Michael Jackson was winning one or two VMAs and Grammys for "Thriller." His blockbuster performances at those shows exposed millions to a recent advance by a successful and proficient black artist. It was actually the beginning of a fledgling shoot for black parity in mainstream entertainment that commenced picking up steam later that year when "The Cosby Show" commenced its eight-season run on NBC.
For me, 1985 was the important musical year. I was a world-weary 10-year-old who pushed the car's radio dial to alternative stations that played punk, tried my best to dress like Madonna, and was totally intolerant of my parents' Spanish-language music.
Their salsa, cumbia, merengue and mariachi corridos consistently filled up the house and accompanied every large family get-together. It was music that I felt needed complex dance moves that I wouldn't have dreamed of attempting, was certainly not "cool" and, to my adolescent mind, certainly not American.
And then in October the Miami Sound Machine zoomed up the Billboard Hot hundred with "Conga," which became the 1st single to be at the same time included on Billboard's pop, Latin, soul, and dance charts.
Epiphany time : the trumpet-cowbell-hot-piano-timbale combo was overwhelming, not just to me but to people, most critically my classmates and the people listening to English-language radio.
I will always remember the look on my parents' faces the first time they heard me grating "Conga" on my boombox. "What are you listening to?" my mum asked, startled. She called my pop over to witness the miracle of my embrace of a musical style that I had previously defied. They really beamed with joy.
I shrugged it off, but main line audiences happily doing the "Conga" made me embrace a part of my culture that I'd never actually given any thought to. Back then, at least in Chicago, no one was going around making a fuss about who was Latino or Hispanic. I believed of myself as simply American.
The popularity of "Conga" was like a Michael Jackson moment for me and other Hispanics. The song's popularity prepared the ground for an even broader audience's embrace of Los Lobos' version of "La Bamba," from the flick about Ritchie Valens. Many radio stations played the tune, with its folkloric guitar outro, in its entirety.
Those were heady days leading up to Ronald Reagan signing the not-particularly-contentious Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. Salsa was on its way to becoming as popular a condiment as ketchup. Who would have imagined that a quarter of a century later people would be really anxious about America losing its soul to Latino culture.
Today calls for a new song to remind individuals that Hispanic and mainstream cultures can come together and be enjoyed similarly by folk of all racesafter all, there aren't any census form race designations on the dance floor. Where are you, crossover star? And are you able to hit the Hot 100 in time for next year's MTV Video Music Awards? - as reported tagya.com.
