Hello again, in this opportunity we<br />
will talk about R & B, these acronyms<br />
mean:<br />

R= RHYTHM<br />
B= MEANS BLUES -<br />
SOUL, INSPIRATION.<br />
This African American musical stream is product of the fusion between Blues, Jazz<br />
and Gospel, in its beginnings it was called RACE RECORDS (Recordings of Race),<br />
this genre was introduced to the United States by Mr. Jerry Wexler of the Billboard<br />
magazine in 1949 and he changed this name since it was quite offensive.<br />
Basically it’s said that there is Classic R & B (has influence of Jazz, Blues and Gospel)<br />
and Contemporary R & B (has influence of Rap, Pop and Disco).<br />
The classic R & B is a style that is characterized by the use of a torn voice<br />
that expresses melancholy or a voice accompanied by a guitar that expresses<br />
the feeling.<br />
But due to the interesting musical fusions that were taking place at the time<br />
of the 50’s, other genres such as Soul were born, of which we’ll talk about<br />
in another edition... but already in the 80’s Disco music was present and its<br />
musical influence is greater, it opened doors to success to stars like Michael<br />
Jackson, George Michael among others.<br />
Then comes the time known as the cider or sidereal explosion of musical<br />
fusions, the 90s, with this genre is born a very remarkable industry where<br />
contemporary R & B takes possession and shines with great exponents such<br />
as Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and others that appeared... but this fusion<br />
does not end here, it continues this rhythmic crossing so that the union of<br />
Contemporary R & B with current urban genres like the rap of today, becoming<br />
almost a pattern that these R & B songs have a touch of rap and vice<br />
versa…<br />
