Will be some person to whom it does not like music?

Until the moment music has been considered like a universal language. I have not known any person in my life that can affirm that music dislikes to him. Ever since we have memory we have been able to listen and to imagine with music. Music exerts a fundamental paper in human psychology, since it can make us happen very suddenly of a mood to another one.
Music always is present at every moment of our life. When we relaxed in our house, the school, the work, when we are enamored, sad, happy, when we have profits or failures. There will always be music at least in our thought.
It does not concern if she is classic, neoclassic, romantic, rock, metal, jazz, funk, blues etc. Any person does not exist who dislikes music to him (I do not talk about to a song or sort in individual, and that the perception of ugly and the pretty thing comes from each one. I make the explanation of which I talk about music as form of artistic expression).
With the passage of time music is being updated according to the social circumstances, although always there will be people to whom certain type of music seems better to them, but since already I have mentioned this perception is individual.
A total human development could not exist if music did not exist because great part of the learning is more comprehensible with the use of music. An example of it would be the learning of a new language.
In addition diverse musical uses exist, from a psychological therapy to the use of the same one in a film. Music has too much importance in the present world, and I consider that if the society took a time from musical relaxation all we would be better people in all the scopes of our life.

“Shades of the Prairie”

The Irish folk music is an important part of the culture that reflects the urbanism of that country. Irish music is very interesting since said melodies they can sound old nevertheless these are born in an atmosphere postmodern and that better example for the actuality that the one that is lived in Mexico. I want to emphasize that not for being children of the postmodern there are mixture with other rates and/or no styles. This gives an idea us that there is music that is known to adapt to the changes that are lived in the world, but without forgetting where comes.

I want to mention some important bands from Ireland

Band Altan. This renewing traditional Irish music was born in 1983. In his first records were left influenced by other musical styles such as rock and blues. His first album was titled "Horse whit to hear" of 1988, the structure of this album to become commonplace in later albums, this structure is 50% of vallate vocal and another 50% devoted to instrumental music.
The band leader is the violinist and singer "Mairéad Ni Mhaonaigh" some of his other albums include "The
Red Crow", "Harvest Storm", "Angel Island."

Bothy Band. components of the Irish group are: Triona Ni Dhomhnail, Michael O Dhomhnaill, Paddy Keenan, Donal Lunny, Matt Molloy, Paddy Glackin, Tommy Peoples and Kevin Burke. This training is probably one of the best in the panorama Celtic fusion music with rock. They released their first album in 1975 that was titled "1975: The First Album.

Clannad. This group has demonstrated the ability of Celtic music to match the sounds of contemporary music without losing part of his spirit. for three decades have demonstrated a willingness renewal without losing their cultural awareness of the importance of music they play.
With the recording in 1979 for his album "Dúlaman" become celebrities in County Donegal (his place of origin). Once in the 80's the BBC I order a couple of soundtracks to reaching the singularity that defines them. ten years after this and Eithne Brennan Paul Brennan left the band to go to each to create their recording studios and the other for initiating a race a little more remote from the folk in that he would sign all his work as Enya.

The Chieftains. This band is the one that gave greater meaning to the traditional Irish music since in 1963 they recorded their first album. components: Sean Keane, Martin Fay, Derek Bell, Matt Molloy, Paddy Moloney and Kevin Conmneff in the group have made 33 recordings, apart from those made by each separately. The group has also undertaken projects to rehabilitate the Irish folk but lately the group has tried to take their music to a merger with the music of other artists. some of his most important works are: "An Evening irish", "The celtic harp," "The long black veli" and "Santiago."

Lúnasa. since its inception three years ago this group has established itself as an innovator. its formation was the result of the dissolution of various Irish bands. components are: Trevor Hutchinson, Michael McGoldrick, Sean Smyth, John McSherry and Donogh Hennessy. the music of this group is full of contributions from rock and jazz but is not separated from the traditional music. its two most important works are: "Live", "otherworld" and "The merry sisters of fate"

Sharon Shannon: This Irish accordionist has been performing since age 14. From that day apart to pursue his solo career, also played with numerous groups, such as "The Waterboys".
his first solo album was recorded in 1989 in which he was supported by many famous artists. after this recording and after passing by The Waterboys recorded his second solo album which also featured the collaboration of many interpreters. after that took an interest in a project called "A Woman's Heart" which were part Maura O `Oconnell, French and Mary Black, Dolores Keane, Eleanor McEvoy

Nightmare Outdoor Festival

Music has been, and will be fundamental part in the life of the people. Times and generations define the type of music that is desired to listen.
This festival is one of most important for Ireland; it is a festival where electronic music is interpreted mainly. It is made to end of the month of October, near the celebrations of Halloween and lasts of almost twelve hours continuous.
It could say that this festival is the equivalent one to “Lives Latin” in Mexico and is one of most important for the Irish young people.
