Hello. My name is Zak Thomas, and this is my
presentation on dose by Omar Apollo To begin, I'd like
to introduce Omar Apollo as Omar Al Polonia Velasco.
He was born on May 20th 1997 in Hobart, Indiana.
The Mexican American singer songwriter had his first released in
2017 and has come to drop many singles in projects
since then.
So now I play a song called Kickback from his
2019 e.
P. E e o.
A. So since then, Omar has obviously dropped many more
projects, and he dropped his first album earlier this year,
with those being one of four singles that were released
in anticipation of the album.
So now I'll briefly play a bit of dough e
E. So does helps to answer the broad question of
How has the Cove in 19 Pandemic and the resulting
global shut down and quarantined affected musical creativity.
So, with the song in mind, I believe the answer
is that the pandemic has been beneficial for music and
art. Creation, uh, is an excellent example of what the
Kovar 19 pandemic and the national quarantine situation has done
for musical creativity.
It demonstrates have a lock down has allowed for a
peak and artistry from truly talented creators.
True and genuine artists such as Omar Apollo have been
able to stand out above the rest.
So does blends the cultures of Mexican music and the
traditional style that Omar Apollo has worked with.
So a pilot song emerges Mexico traditions, Mexican musical traditions
with the R and B funk style that Omar Apollo
has come to master in his work.
It incorporates the cultural makeup of Apollo as 219 is
the area code corresponding to where he grew up in
Indiana, or the song takes on heavy Mexican musical influences.
I'm going back in time.
So those influences come in the form of a corridor,
which is a form of narrative song or ballad popular
in Mexico.
Apollo was able to creatively produce a modern re imagination
of the said genre.
For instance, corridors traditionally are very string heavy, and the
guitar stands out Group.
We're creating a distinct timber.
This is seen in as well as traditional cooperative's.
In addition, traditional corridors frequently have the chorus of the
song that incorporates a vocal Sando where the artist voice
sees wave like flows between pitches.
Omar Apollo has also adapted this from traditional corridors to
use in.
His song With That said is unique as a Mollo,
as Omar Apollo put his touch on it.
It carries a slightly slower tempo and is a bit
groovy. ER and modern and R and B funk ish
than corridors typically are.
In addition, the form of traditional corridors contains eight Kwan
trains that contained 4 to 6 lines, each of which
is usually octo symbolic.
However, in Omar Apollo Song, his versus contained many more
syllables. Also, the topics of traditional corridors are generally about
oppression. Historic events love, infidelity and religion, while Omar Apollo
Song tracks his maturity and upbringing and growth in his
hometown. So I will now play a traditional corridor to
use as a reference for Omar inspiration.
The oh, mhm Hey, hey, That song was called Laporta
Negra from Los Tigres del Norte.
In conclusion, it was the pandemic that allowed a pilot
to successfully incorporate and mesh varying styles and influences.
All in all, despite the obvious downfalls of a global
pandemic, the quarantine aspect has allowed artists to blossom creatively
with added time and space in Omar is no exception,
as she was able to successively blend various cultures into
one unique and beautiful song.
Thank you.
