Extension on RnB

RnB is perhaps at the moment very popular alongside other genres such as pop and dance, which aslo have many characteristics of RnB.

R&B which stands for rhythm and blues is a genre of popular African American music that originiated in the early 1040's.
R&B was used to replace the term 'race music' which originally came about from within the black community and was seen as ofensive in the postwar world.

R&B is now not only performed by black people but also Asian people (Jay Sean) and White people (JoJo).

So anybody can now perform R&B. A few examples of this are:
*Jay Sean- All Or Nothing
*JoJo- Baby it's you
*Whitney Houston- I will always love you etc...

Our Group has chosen to use R&B as it is very popular in modern society also we are aware that it is popular amongst our school society. Therefore our music video will hopefully get a good review from our peers, as we have planned and asked what teens want to see in a music video and what they expect from R&B.

The title and the lyrics make reference to the U.S Black cavalry regiments which was known as 'Buffalo Soilders' that fought in the Indian war after 1866. Marley Likenedd their fight to a fight for survival and recasts this as a symbol of Black resistence.

Euro dance

Cascada- Fever

Cascada is a German Eurodance group that have ben active since 2004. They are most famous for their hit single 'Everytime we touch' this won them a World music award in 2007.

Fever is a single that has been released from Cascada's album 'Evacuate the Dancefloor'.

The song is mainly about the media as Horler(lead vocalist) in the video complains about the use of her images in the media, as she complains, ' I'm not a beauty queenTravelling in a limousine I'm a girl but don't call me baby.' which makes us think that she does not like media attention or that she is unhappy with the way the media are portraying her.

she also goes on to say, 'Who the f**k is VIP?Never alive in luxuryI don't care so just call me crazy.' This states that she doesn't see herself as important just because she is famous and obviously does not care about living a luxury lifestyle.

Throughout the video we see that she livens up the mood. Euro dance is up beat and lively for the purposes of creating an atmosphere that everybody feels comfortable in.
