The emergence of the genre
Funk music is a typical African-American music. This trend has common features with the soul and rhythm and blues. Funk music appeared in the 60s. The main thrust and the goal was to create music not for commerce. Funk music was a new way of expression. Initially, the term suggested that the genre is for dance. And so it happened: music funk has become one of the most dance genres in the history of music. Dancing has always been very energetic. Among funk songs dominates:
- loud vocals (screaming);
- frequent repetition;
- shock technique.
In fact, this genre is reminiscent of a heavy soul. Funk songs had a significant impact on the genre like rock music. Among the musicians who have felt the impact of the forces of funk, there were such masters as Jamiroquai, Red Hot Chili Peppers and others. The experiments in music, in which we can clearly hear the influence of this genre, can be heard in the works by Michael Jackson. You can also download funk MP3 records of those years. Genre was even involved in hip-hop songs.
Continuation
As we mentioned, the emergence of the genre was in contrast to the commercial purchase. Thus, the band wanted to remind about the main sense of music. But if no one wanted to buy the music, everything would come to a dead end. The development of the genre led to the raising of the level of sales. People wanted to buy records. Most of the funding received from the parties. As the dance music was in demand, each party would buy such an artist, group, or at least tape recording.
Heyday occurred in the roaring 70s. It was time when the most popular hits sounded. Style implies a special appearance. Popular performers did not asked fashion, but had recognizable look. It is through such a variety of styles, it turned out to present music so effectively.
Online resources can tell you about the history of the genre. Moreover, you can get the record easily. The online access has complete database of performers. This applies both to the artists of yesteryear and contemporary musicians. Music Store on the Web is becoming the most common with the ability to acquire the record. No wonder that the usual shops are disappearing. To get not only the electronic record, but also a full disk is possible in the store in Internet.
Unfortunately, too much time has changed the music. Lossless transfer of the genre failed. This happened mainly due to the numerous impurities. To keep the style lossless for several decades is impossible. Most likely, it is not necessary. Time is moving forward just as the melody flows, and to pass it lossless means not to develop. Most changes are for the best.
In addition, we still have the opportunity to listen to recordings in MP3. If you prefer a higher quality format, you should choose another extension. For example, Flac. Pro of this format is its quality. Despite this, Flac has a larger file size. Nevertheless, the sound is close to a vinyl record. Flac was established as a professional format. It should be selected to maintain the quality. Most players easily support Flac.
