The topic I would like to focus on for the final project is music. I think that it reflects the traditions and the history of a country, that is why I would like to know the differences between American and Italian music.
In particular, I find it interesting to know what kind of genres are most popular in the two countries and in which areas as well, the reasons of their success and the social identities they reflect. I know that in America there are many genres, such as country, hip hop, rap, jazz, rock which reflect the country’s multi-ethnic population; this aspect enables us to make connections with immigration. Moreover, I would be curious to know in which occasions the different genres are played and compare the results with the holidays and the festivities in Italy.
In Italy classical music is very popular, maybe because many Italian personalities made and still make excellent work on that genre (Verdi, Pavarotti, Bocelli). Is classical music popular in America as well?Why?
Music expresses the characteristics of a country, its history, and through an accurate analysis of the words we can understand the thoughts, the habits and the opinions of the people as well.
In my opinion it might be an interesting topic because it enables us to explore different aspects of a country and make both good comparisons with and reflections on Italy and America.
