Introduction

“Jesusita en Chihuahua” – Mariachi Miguel Dias
&
“Tegernseer Polka” – The Bavarian Band & Chorus

My name is Valentina Bräu and I am doing IB at an international school in Tanzania. Since I am from Bavaria in the southern part of Germany, I grew up with Bavarian folk music and therefore I can relate to it. That’s why I decided to choose Bavarian folk music as one of the two musical cultures I want to find out more about.

After that I needed to find music that has links with Bavarian folk music. Because we have already studied Mariachi music in class, I knew about it and could find many links between the two different genres. That’s how I developed my topic for the MLI and it was really exciting and interesting to analyse the two types of music in detail. I hope you will feel the same way! J
