Music has a powerful effect on the ears of the listener. It can lift your spirits and make you dance. Or take you to a distant memory that causes an emotion. Music can take you through a walk in the park, a bad break-up, or a great party. In the 21st century, music has evolved into a trend that is associated with some of the biggest artist and celebrities. It has defied all odds and is used in so many different ways. It can represent a culture or even a brand. It is used to promote products or services that we can relate the songs to. Artist have become relatable through social media, they aren’t the distant figures we once use to worship. Now fans download and upload content to celebrate their favorite music. Music influences a very great deal. Depending on the content, it can have a positive or negative effect on our society and the world we live in. But Latin Trends knows good music and will guide you as we take a look at some of the events that are going on in the city.
