The first stop will be in Australia with the famous Didgeridoo. This sound comes from the instrument played by the Aborigines of northern Australia. Its origin could even go back as far as 60,000 years. This instrument is a wooden trunk designed with a hollow tree branch from the eucalyptus, acacia, bamboo, or gum. Here, nature is responsible for creating the inner cavity with the intervention of termites. Men made the only modification at the tip level covered with beeswax. The sound emitted is quite strange and vibrant, but its cavernous rhythms are of extreme depth. Invented by the Aborigines of Australia to accompany songs during festivals and rituals, the Didgeridoo is still used for traditional indigenous dances. Much further afield in America, especially in Mexico, Mariachis vibrate their ceremonies with their popular music. Centuries ago, flutes and wooden drums accompanied sacred rites, but the arrival of Spaniards and Christianity in the country caused a radical change in musical style. New instruments such as violins, harps, and guitars have been integrated. Local musicians were even able to make them. Moreover, it was at this time that mariachi groups were recognized. They consisted of two trumpeters, two to four cellists, and a guitarist who gave the rhythm with a vihuela. For the record, the most important mariachi group in music was called the Mariachis Vargas de Tecalitlan. Nowadays, it is possible to attend a performance of the Mariachis in Plaza Garibaldi, among other places. A little further away in America, but this time in Brazil, Frevo is the famous music played in the carnival. It comes from Portuguese enthusiasm, and as its name suggests, it aims to honor dances bubbling with heat. Practiced by Brazilians, frevo has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2012. For this music, the dancers must chain about 120 movements with acrobatics and capoeira steps. They use umbrellas of festive colors to stay stable. On the side of the United States, jazz lovers will be lulled by this music, resulting from a cultural mixture and traditions brought from Africa from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century by enslaved people. In the nineteenth century, the first jazz street bands were born in the New Orleans neighborhood called Storyville, also called brass bands; musicians performed at parades, public meetings, or balls. One of the first jazz bands to influence history was created by Bolden, which combined various styles of the time. The next musical destination is in London to move to the vibrant rhythm of Rock\'n\'Roll since it was in the 1960s that this music made its debut in the United Kingdom. The discovery of this sound was first made through films, but it was not until 1958 that the first real piece of British rock \'n\' roll was produced with Move It by Cliff Richard. Other artists were then highlighted, including Marty Wilde, Adam Faith, Billy Fury, Joe Brown, and, of course, the Beatles. That said, since its appearance in the United Kingdom, rock\'n\'roll has evolved a lot, even experiencing a real renaissance during the 2000s. In Spain, music has an important place, especially flamenco which is based on popular folklore from the various cultures of Andalusia. Here, it is a mixture of singing called Cante and clapping hands and percussion called palmas, not to mention the castanets that make this music\'s splendor. Classical music lovers will be delighted to learn that their favorite place to attend this type of performance is in Austria, specifically Salzburg. There, the festivities are launched with multiple series of concerts, festivals, and orchestras in the region\'s churches, palaces, and castles. ◄
