Aux Etats-unis, il y a beaucoup de variété de la musique. Il y a le rap, le rock, le jazz, la musique classique, la musique de la compagne, le R&B, et plusieurs autres variétés aussi. Je pense que la musique la plus americaine est la musique de la compagne. Il n'y a pas de cette genre de la musique aux autres payes.
For country and rock especially, there are many musical legends. Some of my favorites are The Doors, The Eagles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Allman Brothers Band and Kenny Rogers. But there are many others. Some current country groups that are very popular are Brooks and Dunn, Sugarland and Rascal Flatts. I don't really follow rap or R&B, but I know some of the very popular rappers today include JayZ, The Game and other people and groups like them. Music in the US is so diverse that it would be extremely hard to cover all the legends and current groups for each genera, but this is one of the great things about America's diversity

Des genres de musique viennent de la sud, près de la caroligne de sud: le jazz et le blues. Louis Armstrong et Ella Fitzgerald sont musiciens qu’ont chanté vers 1930 et ont font ces genres importants aux états unis. Maintenant, il y a musiciens qui chantent la même. Michael Bublé et Norah Jones sont populaires. Ils sont différents, bien sûr, mais je pense qu’ils sont les musiciens de jazz pour ma génération. Young people still listen to this type of music, and of course it is most popular with older people. Humourously enough, society thinks that you are cultured if you listen to jazz now. Back when it was first invented, it was called the devil’s music and people thought it was musically inferior!

Une bonne chose au sujet des Etats-Unis, est la variété des types de la musique qui sont présent dans le culture -- il y a beaucoup de genres américains, et aussi beaucoup de genres des autres pays étrangers. For example, the jazz and blues that came out of New Orleans and spread throughout other regions of the States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were influenced by both African and European musical traditions and pioneered by such greats as Joe Oliver and Louis Armstrong to produce a uniquely American sound. These composite musical styles have since lent influence to today's rock, pop, and even rap music, demonstrating acoustically the commonly referred-to cultural "melting pot" of the US.

En France, je dirais qu’il y’a deux générations. La première génération (nos parents et grands parents) écoutait en général beaucoup de musiciens français (Edith Piaf, Claude Français, Johnny Hallyday…). La deuxième génération, en revanche, écoute plus souvent de la musique Anglaise ou Américaine. En effet, aujourd’hui le monde est « envahi » par les musiques d’outre atlantique. Il suffit de regarder MTV ou n’importe quelle autre chaîne musicale pour s’en rendre compte.
As a french guy, I would say that Téléphone, Jean Jacques Goldman, Johnny Hallyday, Charles Aznavour are French music legend. But when I was a child, my father was listening to Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Dire Straits, The Who… So these bands are my kind of music legends. English and American music are so common actually that I could say this kind of music is more popular in France than French music.

In France, Claude François (French singer of the Sixties and Seventies) remains very popular even if he died. Even certain young people continue to adore it but it is often because in their families they listened to it. Johnny Halliday is another french singler very popular. But in my family, I’ve never heard these singers. Indeed, my parents listen Led Zeppelin, Joan Baez, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, Beatles…
Car en France, comme aux Etats-Unis, la musique est très diversifiée : musique celtique, variété française, hip hop,…Durant mon adolescence j’écoutais beaucoup de pop (oasis, blur,…), puis du reggae. Mais aujourd’hui j’écoute principalement de la techno et principalement des DJs Français : Laurent Garnier, Miss Kittin et d’autres nationalités : Dave Clarke, Carl Cox…

La musique est très populaire aux Etats-Unis. La plupart des gens aiment danser donc ils aiment les boîtes de nuit et le rap et la techno. Je ne sais pas les noms des groupes du rap et de la techno. Je ne les aime pas.
Personally, I like rock. The older, the better. The Who is my favorite band and Bob Dylan is my favorite musician. No matter if people do not know it, Bob Dylan did so much for American music. For example acceptable song length changed because of him. I do dance some, but very rarely.

Il y a beaucoup de genres de musique dans les Etats-Unis. Par exemple: le roc, la country, le rap, le pop, etc. En suite, il y a beaucoup de musiciens pour chaque genre. J'aime les artistes compagne et roc. Mes artistes preferes dans ces genres sont Tim McGraw, Jason Aldean, Faith Hill, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynryd, Def Leppard, Lifehouse, et Kelly Clarkson.
There are so many artists. I even like some rap artists: Trick Daddy, Jadakiss, and Eminem. It really depends on the kind of music a person likes because there are many famous people for each type of music. I happen to like a lot of them!

Ici, la plupart des personnes ecoutent aux types differents des musique. Pendant les années dernieres, hip-hop et rap ont devenu populaire. Dans les sud, beaucoup de personnes aime la musique "country." Je crois que nous avons un plus grand variété de musique comparé à les autres pays, mais je ne connais pas des personnes qui écoute à la musique internationale en outré Madame Lomicka et les profs de francais à mon lycèè.
For every genre of music, there seems to be an icon or idol. For country, many think of Hank Williams, Jr., but my favorite is Garth Brooks! To me, he is the Elvis Presley of country music. Elvis is probably the most well known musician in America. For rap and hip-hop, Nelly(who is from St. Louis!), Jay-Z, and Eminem are very popular. Lately, Black Eyed Peas, Beyoncé, and Justin Timberlake have been topping the charts.

Aux Etats-Unis, on a des artists varié. Le jazz est la type de musique qui est spéciale aux Etats-Unis, parce que c'est où il a commencé. Il y avais des artists jazz comme Miles Davis et Louis Armstrong. Le jazz est important meme maintenant parce qu'il montre beaucoup de compétence et de talent musicaux.
There are, of course, other stypes of music that are also important today. There are rock, hip-hop, country, emo, pop, R&B, classical, and many subcategories of each. Each has its own following and dedicated listeners, and there are also those who can enjoy music from a variety of types and styles.

La musique la plus populaire au Sénégal est le Mbalakh. Des artistes célèbres au plan international sont natifs du Senegal Youssou Ndour, Baba Maal, Touré Kunda sont les plus représentatifs. Il y a aussi Thione Seck et Ismaela Lo qui font partie des anciens.Viviane, Titi ou Falou Dieng font partie de la nouvelle génération mais ils sont tous au top. Le Mbalakh est le genre musical dominant, c’est un mélange d’instruments et de rythmes traditionnels et modernes.le mbalakh traduit l’ambiance qu’ on trouve dans le plupart des boites du Senegal.
However, Senegalese people are very open about listening to new style of music. Lot of people in Senegal listen to zouk which come from the Cap-vert .They listen to Rap music which come from the USA and they listen to Soucousse which come from central Africa.
That’s why there is a big variety of music in Senegal.
Most young people you live in the big city listen to Rap music almost every time.
Some of the popular rap group are : Positive Black Soul, Jante bi, Daara ji,Pee froiss etc.

En France, il y a une grande diversité e musicale mais aussi beaucoup de soupe ( qui viennent notamment des télé-réalité !!!). La musique c'est comme le reste, il faut savoir faire le tri. Et aussi savoir rester ouvert à tout les style de musique. Il n'y a pas un qui soit meilleurs que les autres, ils sont tous différents et il faut savoir les apprécié à leurs juste valeurs.
I'm listening a lot of different music , black metal (Children of bodom), progressive metal (Dream theather, Tool, pain of salvation),
classical, jazz , rock , rap, r'n'b,
soul, funk , house and techno ( even
hardcore like Thunderdome). And I like all this !!!

Don't make fun of french music if you please . We know that the french songs have been for long time old songs for others countries. That's why singers like Michel Polnareff flew the France to reach USA because he did like the american genres of music. But since the beginning of the 90's, it has changed : the american trend move to France especially in RAP.
Mais nous avons aussi aperçu une nouvelle forme de musique apparaître avec des chanteurs de ska ou reggae vraiment nouveaux comme Louise attaque ou encore Marcel et son orchestre et des chanteurs plus rock comme Matthieu Chedid. Je pense que depuis quelques années, la musique est devenue plus variée en France, pas obligatoirement de meilleure qualité mais plus ecclectique.
