When I first see the challenge is posted about Culture, I am confused on what genre should I make because:
I'm a Chinese Asian Descendant (Mandarin Speaker) I'm a human born in Indonesia (Archipelago Country) I'm a boy with a diverse culture and religion.
After some thoughts, which are better, I decided to make a Malay Music! The Traditional Malay Music is a genre where started in The Emirates, Arab, Europe. This case, when I say myself connected to The Emirates, ehh.. not really. But I do know the elements of this genre:
- It needs to have percussions as the prior instruments. All what it sounds are the beats, rhythms, and melodic percussive.
- It needs to have a small portion of lyrics, simple and easy to understand. It suggested to have deep meaning in each sentence sung from the lyrics.
- The structure of Malay is I-II-I, I-II-III-II-III-I, or I-II-III-II-I-III-I. This case it's I-II-I.
The reason why I really like this challenge is because: - Diversity is my country's Ideology - I get to listen unique rhythms around the world - Gain respect to one another
