Normally a place is only founded once, but it was founded twice. I thought that it was amazing that tribes forces them to leave the land and they were scared to come back for 44 years. The tribes must have done a lot in order to drive Pedro de Mendoza out for that long! Next, I found all the unique plants and animals interesting. I thought that the pink fairy armadillo looked very strange, and I did not even know that they existed before. It cool that the monkey tree’s branches wrap all the way around the trunk.

Myotis lucifugus do not have a ton of predators, but they have a good amount. Due to the little brown bat having trouble taking off from the ground, if they fall from the air or are low to the surface, they are sucseptable to be attacked and eaten. One of the main day time roosts and nursery roosts for bats are in buildings, where house cats are common. Houses and attics having small places to get out of, it makes the bat an easy target and catch for cats. Most predators take into consideration that bats hibernate, and they do it in large groups. During the winter while asleep, they are likely to be eaten by fishers, hawks and snakes.
“Another key element in the birth of Tejano was the exposure of young Mexican-American boys and girls to rock and roll” (Patoski 14). Teenagers during this time enjoyed listening to artists like Chuck Berry, Little Richard, etc. Artists took the catchy, upbeat tune of rock and roll and added a cultural twist to it. This was sometimes referred to as música alegre- joyous, exuberant music, which matched Selena’s personality. So, in a way, Tejano music is like Mexican rock and roll. Since this time period was the late 80s/early 90s, teens could only listen to music on the radio or on portable Walkman devices, though the radio was more easily accessible. “What is unique about Selena’s era of Tejano music is that it became commertionalized as a recording genre, through music awards and a boom in radio stations that were specifically named “Tejano”” (Vargas 183). This is the positive effect of radio music: it allows for a widespread audience and allows music to gain popularity much faster. “Perhaps the most inhibiting factor to the development of a regional sound was radio, the most important form of mass communication in Texas Spanish-speaking communities” (Patoski 16). Radio did not allow for music to be separated by regions. Therefore, Tejano music could not be exclusively for

The instruments used for this song is of a standard rock band; lead vocalist, electric guitar, bass guitar and drum kit. The genre for this song is determined by the steady and yet simplistic instruments used in this version. An interesting note is that the chorus is in the genre of rock but the verses combine the genres tango and reggae. This could be because merging these three different styles of music attracted the attention of youth more with rock being rebellious at that time and tango and reggae having a heavy beat for that time period. ...
The origin of the word “Tango” in Argentina is still a mystery but it is believed to come from Argentina. The most common theory was that the community of African descent put the name of their god with the Spanish word for drum (tambor) and then came up with the word “Tango”. In Argentina Tango had a much different meaning then that in Spain. Members of the African community in Buenos Aires certainly joined in and influenced the development of the dance and music, just as members all the other communities in Buenos Aires did.

Chase explains a plethora of countries in Latin America and their specific musical features. Furthermore, thanks to his detailed work, the reader can see how many common features can be seen. Firstly, a common feature among all genres is the use of aerophones. The aerophones used could include, panpipes of various varieties, flutes, trumpets (as seen at the Boogat performance in Ottawa) and many more. Another common feature among all the genres is a strong rhythmic presence. In essentially all Latin American music, a steady, metrical rhythmic quality can be heard keeping the music energetic and easy to follow. To keep the rhythm, another common feature to Latin American culture is the drum.

A popularized western form of this type of music, is that of mariachi. Finally, Latin American culture is known for its vibrancy in their music.
