Alright. To my subscribers,
let's get one thing out of the way,
which is I haven't been posting and I'm not going to give you an excuse about how busy I've been.
I've been moderately busy, but not so busy that I can't produce content.
I'm just going to be honest with you, posting content has always been about wanting to share what I've learned versus being
afraid of being judged publicly.
And it just so happens that now I just want to feel more useful with my time and the desire to want to share is slightly higher
than the fear of being judged.
So, let's hope this momentum keeps going and to make it up to you.
I'm gonna give a new um format that I think will be more helpful for all your viewers.
So let's get started.
Ok, let's learn about musicality.
The good thing about bachata music is that a lot of the music now,
the modern ones, even the older ones,
they are constructed in a similar way.
So what you learn from this one video,
one type of music is going to apply to other bachata music.
And normally in an intro there's three parts,
it's an oversimplification,
you can break it down even more but to start with there's three parts that you need to pay attention to.
The first part is the vocal,
where the voice is the most dominant thing.
And then you have one instrument,
usually the bongo or sometimes the guitar that is also dominant along with the voice.
And then you have more than two instruments.
That's the sign uh where the intro is ending and you should um transition to your basic,
so with the vocal dominant the appropriate thing to do is something slow,
slow movements and it's smooth and round.
This is when the music is setting up the singer,
let's have a look.
So the instruments right now is building up.
Its not, the primary thing is building up for Dani J to start singing and his voice is going to be the primary thing.
And if you can see it's not that they get into close position and then become slow. Getting to to that position is slow,
all the movements around very smooth and and then now we're going to transition into
the one instrument. This is where the bongo for this,
for this music, the bongo is going to be more dominant and you will see that the movements are slightly faster and it's slightly more sharp
because that's what makes sense when the bongo is playing.
Uh let's have a look.
All the movements are more more sharp
and at this point they're going to transition into the basic and have like have a listen this the more
than one instruments are going to go crazy.
So what I mean is the bongo is going to attack the usually the guitar with the and and and the guitar as well.
It's and that's kind of like signaling the start of the basic,
let's have a listen, move it back a little bit bongo and then that's the start
of the, that's the end of the intro.
So that's how you break it down the and I'm not saying that dancing,
not like this is wrong.
You can interpret music differently.
Everyone interprets music differently.
I'm just saying these are sort of the guidelines that you can use.
It's not wrong if you don't do these things,
it's just what makes sense with the music and you can vary it a little bit,
but I wouldn't go when all the guitars are going crazy and it's fast paced,
I wouldn't do slow smooth movements with it so it doesn't really make sense with the music,
so treat it more as a guideline experiment and um the next video will be the next part of the music,
the basic and what you should do not should,
but what makes sense with the music?
Okay. Thank you so much for watching and um I promise I will try to keep the momentum up and to keep posting videos hopefully
once a week or maybe even more.
