Beyoncé’s new country album sparks controversy

Les danses Country, they also, reunissent de plus en plus d’adeptes dans des salons or la danse en ligne prend le dessus sur le quadrille in America. When an everyday American practice becomes a new fashion in Europe…

Various origins

To understand this phenomenon, it is necessary to use all the remontons aux origines de la Country. “Il y en a trois”, debut of Christophe Pirenne, professor of music history at UCLouvain and ULiège. “C’est avant tout une musique de European migrants who are Venus installers in Appalachia. Les Allemands, les Irelandis or encore les Écossais are created using musical traditions (violin, acoustic guitar, dulcimer…), vocals and dance (polka…). More c’est also une eclave music

La Country est Donc Avant Tout UN melange and music paisan au sens a noble term that is not commercialized when it debuts in the year 20. “On l’associait à une espèce d’ethos très péjoratif qui reste encore aujourd’hui. Journalists DiversityFor example, décrivaient ces gens comme des pauvres ploucs blancs à l’intelligence douteuse. Cela creera beaucoup de ressentiment”, explain notre spécialiste à propos de ce que beaucoup identifient à l’époque comme étant “une sous-cultural”.

Well-developed imagination

Pour mark leur différence, these “rednecks” are collected by the authors of their son. Nashvillecapital of the country, vont revendiquer leur appartenance à une musique authentique, propre au peuple travailleur et très Eluan de la Music Savante. “Country music next to a cowboy, c’était un peu la Platte de la Journée. An example would be the guitar, feu de lager et ils expliquaient un petit peu que leur douce et tenre leur manquait. “O que qu’ils avaient mal aux fesses parce que toute la journée ils avaient été à cheval,” says Frédéric Chladyuk, director of the Western Shop in Brussels.

“Leur musique est à la base.” obvious misogynist, homophobe…et ils l’assumment!”, Christophe Pirenne performs for an encore. A recent study was carried out: between 2002 and 2020, two titles in three broadcasts on the airwaves of the country États-Unis sont were interpreted by men and 97% by white artists. États-Unis? Part of it will be a huge race.

“In the 21st century, the image of a pastoral landscape has been preserved. This is already uniting accumulation of stereotypes : Amérique des chorales blanches, des trains à vapeur, des esclaves heureux, des Cowboys… When Beyoncé opens with this album, she experiences the pleasure of a porte-à-faux par rapport with an imaginary country party of fans du genre. “Mais tous les fan de Country ne sont pas des gens Butés,” the professor balances.

Great Evolution

I walked past him Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn It is not a premiere party, including themes plus progressives and etc. feminists in the country in the 70s. Period, just où le genre à connu quelques balbutiements. “Les gens ont beaucoup de complexé à reconnaître que les choses sont gris plutôt que noires et blanches,” says the notre-musical expert, who insists that the existence of millions of nuances in the country. The split continues where between a liberal and open approach to the genre and a further strict approach to the categories of people who think that the Western devrait être. Que ce soit en termes d’instruments, de thematiques or mode.

Image cowboyelle, reste primordiale dans l’imaginaire Collectif for Frederic Chladiuk et bien différente de ce qu’on peut Imagineer en Europe en termes de disguise : “The cowboy who dances at the end of the journey, il n’est pas rentré chez lui pour s’habiller spécialement. He’s Salopette Carhartt, his son is Wrangler, his son, and he’s bottled too. He may wear a car shirt or a compression garment, insert and bandana so he can wear it when it clears up. Le western et la tenue du cowboy, this is avant tout practical and convenient“

Des instruments moins conventionnels sont venus nourrir le style, reminiscent of the image of batteries and percussion instruments in general. “Artists like Bob Dylan or Neil Young were the registrar of Venus in the nation’s capital. “The melange between Nashville musicians and playing rock instruments is a very recent one.”

Political restoration

Numbering of all instruments in Nashville is never accepted. After all, this is what berates purists about Beyoncé and the beat.

Each world is unique in its essence. Dixie Chicks And you boycott what you know, starting a debate suite against George W. Bush in his debut year in 2000.

“In cultural politics you can break the convention, but this is unacceptable, and that’s a plus. The country’s political course is the third most important,” insists Christophe Pirenne, who is in the wrong place to see it, as an encore. Donald Trump He serves the country in his discussions, “Beyoncé’s album is the vanguard of all politics,” becomes the newest property of the famous magazines of Americans in the capital. “Texas, which is the greatest state, is Republican history. About the affection of voters in the feelings of du watered. At the Country album fair at a rally to support Republicans in support of democracy.” So, what American elections will take place in November, will we be assistants in the parade of phenomena on the Old Continent? Rien n’est moins sur.
