Live without music
It is very difficult to live without music. We hear music everywhere: in the streets, at home, over the radio and on TV, in the shops, in the parks and in the concert halls.We can’t live without music, it is within us. We like to listen to music, we enjoy dancing, and we play different musical instruments. Music charges us like a battery and fills us with the energy. It reflects mood and emotions. People living all over the world listen to various types of music. Many people like folk music. There are numerous folk groups groups in our country which make the folk music popular. Although there was no jazz of Russian origin, jazz is also quite popular in Russia. Many attempts are made to combine it with rock, which gives rise to some new trends in music. At the end of the 70s another style of music appeared, the punk syle. Punk bands usually sing loud, fast and tuneless songs about anarchy and destruction and their clothes show a rejection of conventional styles of dress. In the 1980s many new bands emerged. The so called ‘heavy metal music’ became very fashionable. The variety of Russian music scene is really impressive. You can go to a classical musical concert, a techno night at the local club, or see your favourite band live on stage.
