Folk Dance and Music by Epified
My reading
for this week is a little off topic and unconventional but it kept popping up
on the YouTube side bar and it was made from Epified so I thought I would try
it. The video talked about music and dance. They describe how rich the Indian
culture is and how it is in everyone’s roots. Whether the person be a farmer, businessman,
or doctor, everyone is musically inclined. A lot of the folk music in Madhya Pradesh tells a lot about its
history and people. The music is often about love, duty, and sacrifice, all
things people lived through. It is really cool and different to hear that a lot
of people practice this music together because it is not something you see in
the US a lot. It reminds me of the native American culture. It is also really
interesting to hear that different tribes that were all close to each other
have different traditions and produced different types of music. It sets the different
tribes apart but also gives them something to share in common which is their
love for music. These people wanted to make music so badly that they would make
instruments out of so many different things. It is inspiring how much they just
loved to make and listen to music with their neighbors, they didn’t care if it wasn’t
a real instrument, as long as it made sound. One example of this music being played
and loved is when Krishna played the music to stop the demon. This example just
explains what the Indian people think that music can do and what kind of impact
it has on their daily lives. Not only is music important to them but also dance.
Many tribes and cultures in India have special dances to go with their music. I
enjoy reading about things that are different then the western culture I was
raised in.
