People from Europe (欧洲）and America brought Africans (非洲人) to America as slaves (奴隶) before and during the 19th century. These Africans brought their music with them. After the American Civil War (美国内战), the African-American people in the U. S. A were hot slaves. Their music became famous. It started in the south, then it traveled to the North (北方). Music became blues (布鲁斯) and then jazz.

Blues and jazz became very popular in the 20th century. A person sang the blues when he or she felt sad. Usually, he or she lost something—a person or maybe money or their work. Blues express (表达) sad feelings, sometimes in a funny way. People played blues first with only one or two instruments, for example, a guitar, a harmonica (口琴) or a piano. Sometimes they sang without any instruments. Some famous blues musicians are Bessie Smith, John Lee Hooker and B. B. King.

Jazz came soon after blues. Composers used more musical instruments. Jazz can be happier and is often faster. Some famous jazz musicians are Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis and Wynton Marsalis.

Musicians change the music to show their emotions (情感) when they play blues and jazz. They play the music differently each time. Today people all over the world still like to listen to blues and jazz because all people have strong feelings sometimes.

If you ask me, “Who is your favorite singer?” I will tell you, “Larry Mullen.” If you ask me, “Which band do you like best?” I will tell you, “U2.”

U2 is the name of a band from Dublin, Ireland. ①It is one of the most famous rock bands in the world.

Larry Mullen was 17 years old in 1978. He was a student and studied in a high school. He showed great interest in music. His dream was to have his own band. So he began to look for musicians to form a band. At last, in the fall of that year, he found another three boys and they ②set up a band. They named their band U2. No one knows for certain what U2 means. Some people guess it refers to You, too. Maybe it means We are together.

They did a lot of traveling and gave concerts in many countries. More and more people got to know them and love their music. Many of their songs were very popular. Beautiful Day and Walk On is one of them. I like it best.

This band won several Grammies (格莱美奖) and became famous in the year 1980s.

Many years has passed. But the four members of the band are still close friends. They’re still making music; they are still giving concerts in different countries; they’re still welcomed all over the world. I’m still enjoying the songs of this band. I think it is a Never old band in my heart.
