I chose songs above pictures or a video because music plays a special role in my life. No matter where I go or where I may stand I must always have music with me. Music calm me down and keep me focus on everything I might do. I am Hispanic and this means that us Hispanics have a wide range of music we can possible hear in our life time. I am Ecuadorian and as such I try to demonstrate my culture with pride. One of the music I chosen among the five is Ecuadorian cumbia. I was introduced to Ecuadorian cumbia since a very young age, as well as Balladas but I not so fond of that genre so much. Ecuadorian cumbia are quiet simple to dance to and the songs tend to always hold a meaning which make them valuable in my culture; it is also one of the type of music that are played at parties. Another type of music is batchata, I simply love hearing batchata and dancing bachata. It is the first type of music I actually learned how to dance to. Another type of music that is a part of me is Mexican music. The reason why it plays a role in my life is because most of the closest friends I have are Mexican and since I am very close to them they have introduced me to their culture just like I have introduced my culture to them. Another I have chosen is Rock. Although at first I wasn’t so fond of it, I grew to like this type of music especially since it was introduced to me by someone close and special to me. Meregue define or make up who I am because I tend to dance this a lot in parties especially family parties. I love dancing Meregue but isn’t as fond of just listening to this type of music. These are all the type of music that make up who I am. They are many more that make up who I am but these are the top 5. As for the songs, those are five of my favorites, one for each genre. Although there are many other songs I could have chosen for this assignment, I feel these are the best to demonstrated what type of person I am and to demonstrate how large of a influence Hispanic music have on me and my life.
