Two men came to America with a organization of people on a ship to set up their own colony. Both of them had a goal and a reason for coming to the new world. When both of them came to set up a colony they had high hopes. They soon realized it would be a struggle to survive and had to endure a lot when they decided to come to the new world. They were not exactly the same though and had some differences and came to the new world for contrasting reasons.

Last week Middle Tennessee State University ( MTSU) invited a professional Conjunto musician players. As a history class students we had to go and see their performance because Conjunto music is a traditional Mexican music. We had a lot of fun listening to their music and personally I would love to go again and listen to this music because this music is take you away back to the old Mexican music. Therefore, while you listening to this music, you feel like this music is talking to your soul.

The year was 1999 when we moved to Colorado from New Mexico. I was just a year old. My father recalls searching restlessly day and night to help support me and my mother. Coming to a new state was difficult; moving from basement to basement was their only option. Fortunately, a little after our arrival, my father found a job working construction and we were able to get a small apartment.Although small, it was still fulfilling in every way. Money was scarce at the time, as well as food. As he talks, he mentions a weekend night when he and I were spending some time together in the living room. I was a year old, and I was hungry. I decided to go to the kitchen and find some milk. When I made it to the kitchen, I opened the fridge. My father says,

Origins and routines of bachata music and dance Latin America is rife with cultural and social traditions that can be traced back generations. Many of these traditions have roots in the grandeur and hardship of the societies from which they spawned. The bachata denomination of dance and music came from the Dominican Republic, and bears scars from the hardships of rural life.

Bachata originated in the Dominican Republic in the wake of the regime of Rafael Trujillo in 1961.

If I were to use one word to describe the “Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra” that word would be astonishing. At first, hearing that I was required to attend a Jazz concert I was completely turned off. I am very closed minded and automatically thought to myself that the kind of music would be dreadful. That is not the case anymore. This genre of music is amusing and very pleasing to the ears. The band members are some of the most talented musicians that I ever saw or heard.

We can usually listen to the music in various scenes in life. But we don't often just concentrated on listening. The same was the case with me before. Especially, I was ignorant in classical music. But now I like listening to orchestra concert from the front row seats. It is a quite wonderful experience. Since my children start learning how to play the violin, I came to listen to classical music. After I could a little understand artistic features of classical music, I listened to it with rapt attention. I especially came to like Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto. I was listening it through only my computer, but on the whole I was satisfied.

Cubans are known for their Afro-Caribbean music of salsa, cha-cha, son, rumba and many more different music styles influenced by both Spain and Africa.

The only Spanish rappers I did listen to were Reggaeton artists, meaning I did not listen to many predominately English speaking Latino rappers. This revelation of my early musical tastes begs the question as to why I was not exposed to more Latino rappers during the late nineties and early millennium. In learning about how Latino’s have participated within the realm of Hip-Hop, one learns that allow Latino’s have played a major role in its foundations, the call for a strong identity has emerged due to various group’s

The book “The fall of Natural man; The American Indian and the Origins of Comparative Ethnology” was written by Anthony Pagden in august 1983. The book gives a new explanation of the introduction of intellectual context and argument made by various sixteenth-century spanish thinker about the new world by the old. This book was the first study of the pre-Enlightenment methods by which Europeans tried to describe and describe American Indian society with his own society. The book is rich and complex, but also confusing. It deals with an issue which of great interest to people studying origin of new world. But the book disappoints the anthropological readers as the title of the book and the content is not satisfactory.

Since my family lived so close together, we had many family traditions that remain important. We gather for nearly every holiday for a meal and routine. For Easter every year, we have an Easter egg hunt and dinner at my grandmother’s house. For Christmas Eve, we always went to my great-grandparents house and had dinner and exchanged gifts. For Christmas, we celebrated at home, and then went to my grandmother's for breakfast with our cousins. The importance of all of the holidays we celebrated was that no matter what was going on in our lives,
