Hi everyone!

Let's move to another task: O.S.T and composers

A soundtrack, can be recorded music that is synchronized to the images of film.

In 1896, when people saw the first movie someone played music to go along with it. This was the era of the silent movie meaning only that the actors did not speak. A musician played different music to show drama, the character types and the storyline. There was music to introduce war, indians, cowboys and other types to the scenes. There was special music to introduce the hero. Even the villain had his own musical pieces to identify him. Finally, in 1927 moviemakers figured out how to include a soundtrack on the film.

See how music is important to express the story with the following

It's your turn, in groups invent a new story with the same music

Have fun!

You can listen to Joaquín Díaz singing the song:

La chata Berengüela güi, güi, güi
como es tan fina trico, trico, ta
como es tan fina leirón, leirón, leirón
leirón, leirón, leirón.
Se pinta los colores, 
con vaselina, 
y su madre le dice
quítate eso.
Que va a venir tu novio, 
a darte un beso.
Mi novio ya ha venido
ya me lo ha dado
y me ha puesto el carrillo
muy colorado.

Apparently, they were a bold bunch and got the idea from when they used to chase lions who were going after the cattle owned by their families.

Here you  have the chorus

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em out.
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me.
Look out 'cause here I come
and I'm marching on to the beat I drum.
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me.

(Cuando las palabras afiladas quieran cortarme
les enviaré un diluvio, las ahogaré a todas.
Soy valiente, estoy herido
Soy quién debo ser, este soy yo.
Cuidado pues aquí vengo
y voy marchando al ritmo de mis propios tambores,
No tengo miedo de ser visto
No me disculpo, este soy yo)

Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue

and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
and wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
away above the chimney tops,
that's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow, why, oh why can´t I?

If happy little blue birds fly beyond the rainbow.

Why, oh why can´t I?

Ooh, ooh...

Good morning, good morning to you! 

When the band began to play, 
the stars were shining bright.
Now the milkman's on his way.
It's too late to say goodnight.

So, good morning, good morning!
Sunbeams will soon smile through,
Good morning, good morning to you!
And you, and you, and you!

Musical notation, do the online worksheet clicking on the picture below

Let´s talk about "Folk music", it´s generally not written in sentence form. Folk music was handed down from one person to another person.

The first forms of folk music were ballads. The ballads helped people understand many different things like politics, relationships, families, and work. Other ballads explained a victory or loss at a specific battle, a political problem, and there were ballads explaining the origins of immigrants and their families.

Another form of folk music was geared toward children. These folk songs had quick rhymes, snappy or clapping games

Let´s see some of different countries:

*From USA (American indians):
