Quito's festivities

        

         I found a very important activity because I could meet and learn things you never knew about Quito, remember the spirit of the holidays, see different aspects that characterize the "Quito". Quito have learned that characterize the different activities such as "the election of the queen", "comparsas", "the canelazos" and many other things.
         I made two posters, the first related to put off the celebrations of prayers and pictures, in the second opilación poster I made a photo and put a phrase that meant the holidays. My companions made different colorful creations that were very well done.
        The hardest to make this work was to perform the prayers and write on the card because I could not make sentences that are related to the party, but use vocabulary to help and end sentences.

        Music is the art related to the combination of instrumental sounds or with voice, as a way to give beauty and an emotion, usually in accordance with standards of rhythm, melody, and in most music of Western, harmony. The genre of music I like to listen is the reggae, this genre of music was first developed in Jamaica. This genre use differents kind of rhythms as ska, rocksteady and reggae.

        Maybe the best known in the different stages of this genre are group The Wailers, a band formed by Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer in 1963, the singers better known of the reggae include Prince Buster, Desmond Dekker, Jackie Mittoo and Annie Acosta.

       The reggae owes its success a England, the movement "skinhead" was adopted it as their own music and with this movement was created the "Great War reggae". In England, the reggae it expanded thanks to the introduction of this new genre in the music of The Rolling Stones.

             According to this article,  the song "Let you go" was composed by artists Ecuadorian , for the artist named AU-D and the artist named Sacoto, they sang this song for the first time last Thursday, October 15 during the Concert EXA, this concert was made at the Coliseum “General Rumiñahui” with the participation of 16 artists national and international .

They decided to make this theme musical because AU-D said that "an artist should not be alone with their genre musical because should experience different genres to revolutionize the music", and Sacoto said that "he always wanted to make a theme musical with AU-D because he liked to the type of genre that sings AU-D ".

This theme musical "Let you go" is a fusion of rap, hip hop by AU-D and salsa and pop by Sacoto, also the letter of this theme musical is romantic with a little of the urban genre and this theme musical is danceable.

             In my opinion these songs represent what can be done in Ecuador, the different contributions of genres make that the music be more interesting because the artist should not be alone with their genre musical and they to look for different experiences with other genres musical, also that the collaborations between artists Ecuadorian are very different from other kinds of music because there are not many songs that unite different genres musical in one alone song.
