July 2010 – History and Styles of POP Music Report
Hi Culture Linkers,
We’re glad to see more and more new faces this month. Along with Stephen – our great singer, we travelled in a time-machine to witness the overview of a whole history of music, from the 50s to nowadays. We also flew on an airplane around the world to see many kinds of instruments and hear all kinds of music. You guys showed your wonderful music understanding and your excellent listening skills through all the games. Congratulations to the winners of dictionaries: Dang Ngoc Chien, Nguyen Manh Cuong, Nguyen Bich Huyen, Le Quang Hieu and Nguyen Thu Thao.
Of course the rainy day could not stop your love for music. The evidence was your presence at the R&R Bar, 10 Tho Nhuom Street. We enjoyed our dinner before listening to beautiful music performed by many musicians there. We were lead into the very different world, covered only by music. Please say thanks to the band, Japanese musicians, some American ones, and many others that I can’t remember the names of (Sorry for that ^^). Don’t forget to give a big round of applause to the 3 little girls who sang “Trong Com” and “The Show”: Hanh, Phuong and Chi. Their singing was at the end of the evening but still got our attention. Make sure you remember R&R Bar has an Open Mic Session every Sunday night. You can come to enjoy the music or give others the chance to hear your voice or your playing. Take the stage!
Topic for next month is “Museum of Ethnology”. Sound familiar? Yes. Will it be the same style as the last time we went there? Definitely not. Because we have a very new teacher team this month: Nicki and Stephen. They will work splendidly together to bring us some new and attractive viewpoints on that topic.
