Роза Рымбаева- Любовь настала



Roza Rymbayeva - Love has come

Song performed at the 1979 All Union song festival (you may want to compare to Eurovision...).
Many people may recognize this classic.
It makes us think about this pop songs that are known by many.
The music is composed by Raimonds Pauls, the most famous pianist in Latvia (still today).
Was this comercial pop music? Hmmm... what was equal and different across the wall??
I post this not as a matter of taste, but has as question of thinking. There are many walls still today. Walls about knowing and difference. Class walls, disguised as taste. What did Marx say about the struggle and the workers class taking power? Is popular music a way of the masses struggle for power by taste. Well we saw this in another way in Portugal with the so called Light Song (Canção Ligeira). But somehow the masses appropriated things in many different ways.
Taste, Kitsch, Dominance, Identity.
