Question:



"Name a song that will let you blow off some steam," -Alex from New York

Answer:

About the Artist
The Velvet Underground was recognized in the 60’s as a psychedelic sex-driven misfit band. They first became rock stars for Andy Warhol’s multimedia show “The Exploding Plastic Inevitable” where they originated the pessimistic work of rock n’ roll. This song “European Son” was featured on their self-titled album released January 1967, using Andy Warhol’s famous banana picture as the album cover.

Week 1 Mixtape

Question:



"You got to meet your most idolized musician, who would it be," -Jason From Indiana

Answer:



JORGE BEN

1. Ponta de Lanca Africano

2. Mas Que Nada

3. Take It Easy My Brother Charles

About the Artist

Brazilian musical artist, Jorge Ben, got his first big shine from the composition of track number 2 "Mas Que Nada" at age 23 (decade of the groovy sixties). At the time of his most influential work, musica popular brasileria was more about challenging Brazil's political authorities and singing of reform. Jorge Ben, however, didn't allow the frustration of political supremacy overshadow his musical talent. Using his bossa nova guitar skills, Ben created a style of music that dashed a touch of the African West Coast to a seductive Brazilian groove.
