1.  British Beat-the Beatles in the 1960s mixed rhythm and blues, rock and roll, and soul music. The new style was beat music.
2.  Reggae-this started in Jamaica and is a mixture of music from African roots and rhythm and blues. Bob Marley made it popular
3.  Heavy Metal-a style based on blues and rhythm and blues, but with electric instruments
4.  Rap-in the 1980sDJs in American clubs began half singing and half talking over instrumental records.
5.  Country and Western-the music of poor white Americans in the 1930s and 1940s. It’s still the most popular music in the southern USA.
6.  Rock and Roll-white teenagers discovered rhythm and blues, but many radio stations would not play “black music”. Elvis Presley was one of the first singers to mix rhythm and blues and country and western. The result was rock and roll.
7.  Rhythm and Blues-black workers in the USA moved from farms to the cities. They mixed the blues with gospel and played it with electric guitars-this became “rhythm and blues’.

4.READING

Read the text  and answer the questions.

1 When and how did World Music start to appear?

2 What different kinds of World Music are there?

3 What are the benefits of it, according to the text?

4 What styles does Geoffrey Oryema mix?

Different kinds of music, played with different instruments and coming from different cultures have existed since prehistoric times. However, it was not until the 1980s that the concept of 'World Music' began. Before then, virtually the only records sold in British record shops were local or American.

Suddenly, from about 1980, international sounds started appearing on the radio and African musicians like the Senegalese Youssou N'Door began to come to London to play concerts. Nowadays, it is a thriving genre, selling millions of records and helping to open the minds of many people to music from other cultures. We can now hear Zairean dance music, Mexican Mariachi bands, drummers from Burundi, traditional Australian didgeridoo players and Pakistani Quawwali singers like the great, late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

However, World Music is not only traditional; it has encouraged the fusion of different styles from around the world. One example of this is the Ugandan musician, Geoffrey Oryema. Escaping death at the hands of the Ugandan dictator, Idi Amin, in 1977, Geoffrey moved to France where he started mixing his African roots with rhythms from western pop.

5 Listen to the song and read the lyrics.

Nomad

The other day l looked

At myself in the mirror

Do not hide your face

Do not hide your face

From me when I feel sad.

On the day when I call you

Answer me, please answer me

And turn your shy ear towards me

No cows and no grass to graze on

Makes me feel I'm a nomad.

I'm lost and silent in the wilderness

like an owl among the ruins

My wings lined with ashes.

Alone on the roof

I feel I'm a nomad

I feel I'm a nomad

I feel I'm a nomad

My days go up in smoke

My bones are aching

My days go up in smoke

My heart is breaking.

Good walking leaves no track behind it

Do not hide your face

Do not hide your face

From me when I feel sad
