Introduction
Artists create content based on their own experiences, observations, integrity, and personal creativity. Depending on the content details, such as wordings, instruments, and rhythm, artists’ contents can be classified into different genres, which involve groupings of content with their similarities. Songs have different genre groupings, such as pop, rap, gospel, secular, and love songs. This paper is a short report of La bruja song analysis, released by Conjunto Jardin from Mexico.
Main body
In Mexico, La bruja means “The Witch,” which is the song’s main subject. The witch character in the song is an old maid interested in sucking blood and destroying a man (“Mama Lisa’s World,” n.d.). La bruja song belongs to the pop genre, a grouping of popular songs that are well known. Pop songs are considered to be top hits, well known, and easy to understand by everyone. Specifically, the music was created and produced using the Jarocho style from the city of Veracruz in Mexico. Based on my research, I think the song was released in 1988, although many artists have produced remixes and different versions. I was able to find the file on YouTube for better comprehension. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yqkt54B-JIc
Conclusion
In conclusion, the song “La Bruja” is traditional and relates to cultural practices in Mexico. Due to its popularity, the song has resulted in the creation of the La bruja dance. The Witch addressed in the song has vampire-like characters, such as blood-sucking and killing innocent people. The Witch has the interest to catch a man and cut off his legs. The music is suitable for people of all ages, although it can be scary to children. La bruja is an excellent example of unethical practices, such as witchcraft, which should be condemned for a community’s benefits and social health.
