What year was the song created? Where was the song created? Who is the musician/group of musicians?

Using YouTube, select one non-Western musical example and one Western musical example.

The critical thinking checklist will help you gather the evidence to support your assertion that you have chosen a Western or a non-Western musical style/choice. For each piece of music, write at least 1 paragraph that fully explains all of the items on the critical thinking checklist. Be sure to provide the link to the piece in your explanation and use complete sentences.

Critical thinking checklist:

What year was the song created? Where was the song created?
Who is the musician/group of musicians?
What instruments were used in the song?
What background details can I find about the group/musicians?
Is there any cultural or religious significance to the song?
What elements of music are present? (for example: Rhythm, Tempo, Pitch and Scale, Melody, Harmony, Dynamics, Tone Color/Timbre)
What do I hear?
What similarities and differences can I hear between my two choices?
