Techno culture
Hi! today i would like to talk about the techno culture, first the techno is a genre of music electronic that emerged in Detroit (United States) and Germany in the mid of years 1980.
The origin of techno comes from house music together with the fusion of currents of european music, based on the experimental use of the synthesizer or the first electro. Added to this is the influence of a futuristic aesthetic and themes. In the case of detroit's sound was influenced by African-American music, especially genres like soul and funk.
Personally the history the Detroid city it's the one that most attracts my attention because is related by in the 1950s, Detroid was one of the most prosperous cities in the United States, "epicenter of the automobile industry" and home to the main factories; Ford, General Motors and Chrysler. But towards the 1960s, with the transfer of the industry to countries with cheaper labor, the Motor City began to depopulate. Already in the 80s it was an abandoned city, with a decadent and post-industrial air.
This abandoned city was used by the mainly Afro descendant youth who lived here to create a culture of resistance through the characteristic metallic sounds of the automobile industry. In the case of Berlin, it was found in the same conditions for to many factors, but the main one was the fall of the wall.
Techno is often recognized by its unique and enveloping sounds, but it has a great history that many should know to understand much more about its context.
This is just one part and the truth is that i like it the most, since it's related to a much more politics position of making music.
