Discuss Gigi’s music as an example of popular music and a response to globalization
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:
Answers will vary.
• Gigi's music illustrates the definition of a popular music style suggested by the author of the chapter. The band plays Western rock instruments and uses Western harmonies to create commercially successful rock music that is disseminated through mass media.
• Gigi does not incorporate traditional Indonesian musical elements into its music.
• Instead, the band has concentrated on developing a highly crafted (alternative) rock sound that would probably appeal to youth anywhere in the world, except for its use of Indonesian language for its lyrics.?
