Introduction
Dance music is music composed specifically to facilitate or accompany dancing. It can be either a whole musical piece or part of a larger musical arrangement. In terms of performance, the major categories are live dance music and recorded dance music. While there exist attestations of the combination of dance and music in ancient times (for example Ancient Greek vases sometimes show dancers accompanied by musicians), the earliest Western dance music that we can still reproduce with a degree of certainty are the surviving medieval dances such as carols and Estampies.
What is Hip Hop and R&B?
Hip hop music, also called hip-hop or rap music, is a music genre consisting of a stylized rhythmic music that commonly accompanies rapping, a rhythmic and rhyming speech that is chanted. It developed as part of hip hop culture, a subculture defined by four key stylistic elements: MCing/rapping, DJing/scratching with turntables, break dancing, and graffiti writing. Other elements include sampling (or synthesis), and beatboxing. Hip hop as both a musical genre and a culture was formed during the 1970s when block parties became increasingly popular in New York City, particularly among African-American youth residing in the Bronx.
The History of Hip Hop and R&B
The history of hip hop and R&B can be traced back to the late 1970s, when disco was the dominant genre of dance music. In the early 1980s, however, a new style of music began to emerge from the streets of New York City. This new style was a blend of disco, soul, and funk, with a heavy emphasis on rhythmic beats. It soon became known as “hip hop.”
While hip hop was initially driven by African American youth, it soon gained popularity among people of all races and ethnicities. In the 1990s, hip hop began to incorporate elements of other genres, such as rock and pop. This led to the emergence of “rap” as a distinct subgenre of hip hop.
R&B also has its roots in the late 1970s and early 1980s. However, unlike hip hop, R&B was not initially driven by African American youth. Rather, it emerged from the African American club scene as a way to provide soulful ballads and dance tunes for people to enjoy.
Over time, R&B has also borrowed from other genres, such as pop and hip hop. As a result, R&B now encompasses a wide range of styles, from slow ballads to up-tempo dance tracks.
Today, hip hop and R&B are two of the most popular genres in the world. They are enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds, and they continue to evolve and change with each passing year.
The Different Styles of Hip Hop and R&B
Hip hop music is a style of music that was developed in the 1970s by African American youth in the South Bronx area of New York City. It is a type of street music that includes rap, DJing, and graffitit among its elements. R&B stands for rhythm and blues and is a style of music that was popularized in the 1950s by African American artists such as Sam Cooke and Ray Charles. It is a type of soul music that combines elements of gospel, jazz, and blues.
