|
|
I want to know that if you think of a song or music, what country that remind you of that music? or maybe their most popular traditional music or song.
(except for their national anthem)
example : (IMO) if you disagree please tell me your opinion or tell me your another choice.
Espana Cani that represent Spain.
Kalinka or Katyusha represent Russian Federation
The Blue Danube Waltz for Austria
Gravel walk or Lost Song for Scotland
Arirang for Korea(both North and South)
Sakura for Japan
and my country(Thailand) is Kang Kao kin kluay(meaning = bat eat banana ) or Lao Duang Duen(I'm not sure about the meaning, maybe it's Lao moon?)
So, what about your country or any other country? please let me know. _________________ Sessina ♥ Kanaeva ♥ Dmitrieva ♥ Mamun ♥ Mazur |

When I think USA I don't think cowboy/native american music
The Hockey Night in Canada theme song for Canada, and Bisou D'eskimo for France (I'm kind of joking on that one ) _________________ My youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/xxJodelleFerlandxx?feature=mhee

My French Class in colleague, they always play Edith Piaf song.
Padam Padam and Non, je ne regrette rien and La vie en rose are like the best represent song for France(for only in my opinion).
Especially Padam Padam, there is a music instrumental call accordion that sounds very French. _________________ Sessina ♥ Kanaeva ♥ Dmitrieva ♥ Mamun ♥ Mazur |

Yeah, that was a joke. I would have to say the best song that represents the US of A is America, the Beautiful. It's pretty much our second national anthem. _________________ My YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/MarchingBalletDancer

Hi!
Are you kidding me? Where does that association between accordion and France come from? I'm French, and I promise you, we've been traditionally playing many other instruments such as recorders, shawns, hurdy gurdys, viols, etc...and more recently ( about 200 years), whole orchestras, just as everywhere else.
When I think about France, I'm reminded of old children songs, or famous composers. Camille Saint-Saens and Francis Poulenc, for example.
And for Canada, I'd say that old folk song called A la claire fontaine, or pieces by Gilles Vigneault.
If you say USA, I'm hearing Glen Miller or Benny Goodman!

That must be a Quebec thing because I have never heard of that song.... sometimes Quebec is like a different country though. _________________ My youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/xxJodelleFerlandxx?feature=mhee

I totally agree with you; I'm feeling the same about English speaking Canada. It's a good thing, thought, because we can travel in our own country and never get bored.
Yes, A la claire fontaine is an old French song brought in Quebec by the first settlers. It's mostly sung, sometimes with e few people, because I think they didn't bring a lot of instruments from Europe to begin with.
So, what other folk songs would be popular in English Canada? _________________ --- The first time is luck, the second time is coincidence, and the third time is skill! --- Shayla Worley |

mmm..for Italy is difficult cause every region has its own popular music. Maybe the most famous are songs from Naples like "O sole mio" or "Funiculi' funicula' ".
And there is also classical opera music (for example "Va pensiero", "Nessun dorma") _________________ My graphic works: http://elettrasart.forumfree.it/
