What music did people listen to in the 1930s?

Answer 1

I assume you are most interested in popular music. To summarize some of the major genres: Jazz in several forms; in particular, small groups and larger dance bands. Many dance bands played a more heavily arranged form of jazz known as Swing. Blues, mostly performed by black musicians in that terribly segregated era. "Sweet" music, sort of like jazz in orchestration but (at least in my opinion) with a lot of saccharine easy-listening aspects to it. Vocal groups such as the Mills Brothers, the Andrews Sisters, the Pied Pipers, and so on. Solo vocalists such as Bing Crosby, usually backed by an orchestra and sometimes by a small vocal group. You can visit a site such as www.tuxjunction.net to hear a lot of music from that era.

Answer 2

The popular music in the 1930s was Swing.

Swing has its grounds in Jazz. In Swing, the first time, Big Bands were made. A Big Band contains many people. Every Instrument has more members who play it. So u have like 3 saxophones instead of one in a normal jazz band. The most famoust big bands were the ones, lead Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington and Glenn Miller.

Answer 4

Swing Music was really popular in the 1930s. In Early 1930s the "sweet" music of artists like Guy Lombardo and the Jazz Age dance bands were more popular but later in the 1930s popular trend leaned more to the aggressive horn arrangements of the Swing Era with artists like Tommy Dorsey and many others.

Answer 5

Yes, technically though it depends on the definition of 'Rap music'.

But the style of singing/speaking to a rhythm is very old, perhaps even centuries.

Songs that we would describe as rap today started somewhere in the 1920's, probably amongst the jazz community in the United States of America.

Again it was the continuation of older traditional ways of sharing stories, singing, etc.

As far as I know this kind of music made its re-appearance in Europe in the 1930's, the famous Dutch dance orchestra 'The Ramblers' recorded a song called 'De rechtzaak Pietertje Swing' in 1939.

A typical rap song according to todays standards.

Answer 6

Jazz was quite popular. Swing music became popular later in the decade.
