Mmm... Synthpop... Good luck finding a book with that in the title, but if you do, you should listen to Shiny Toy Guns... I love "You Are the One" and "Starts With One"... and "Don't Cry Out"... *goes and gets her CD*

[Angie]

I know Mambo is a type of dance but is it also considered a type of music? I'm Cuban and I'd say yes, what do you all think?

[Sara ♥]

I would say so. I remember that my grandma's organ had buttons for different types of music, and when you pushed them, it would play a generic beat/song of that type of music. One of them was mambo. Good stuff. Love the rhythm!

EDIT: Wikipedia agrees with us: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mambo_(music)

Cuban music. Well, you're Cuban, so I'd say you're the expert!

NICE! Love Shiny Toy Guns! Le Disko came on in my car the other day when my ipod was on shuffle and I got REAL excited!


I realized a book I had on my shelf would work for this:

The Hypocrisy of Disco A Memoir

[Amy]

I've recently learned of "Trash Rock"

Honestly ? ...

Using 'Country' as the music genre?

[Kathleen]

I was told by Cynthia in the questions area that protest music would be a genre. I am reading The Protest Singer An Intimate Portrait of Pete Seeger since I didn't get to it during the summer challenge.
