music feature short review

I listened to the 50 great voices and while I was reading I found some important information that I would like to share. I was reading about Celia Cruz a great Cuban singer that sung really nice.

She was known as the queen of salsa. She grew up with neighborhoods where music was always in air. She travel for 15years with the Sonora orchestra and settle in Fort Lee, NJ, home base for decades-long career. She also was the voice from Havana. They were great musicians she was an interesting woman. Cruz was out of the country at the time of the Cuban Revolution and chose not to return. She settled in Fort Lee, N.J., home base for a decades-long career and a 41-year marriage to Pedro Knight, who had been her trumpet player.In the early '70s, she recorded her first album called Quimbara a vibrant, pulsating tongue twister that took her instantly to the top of the salsa world.
It was the first time she'd worked in many tracks. She became so famous with that album. Recording engineer Jon Faust put congas on one track, timbales, trumpets and piano and other instruments. Celia Cruz sang with the headphone mix. "She didn't have to get it right the first time."She could redo a part if she wasn't satisfied, without having the band to have to play it over again." Celia Cruz was a great artist. She sung from the hearth. Unfortunately she is gone but people still like and listens to her music a lot. She died on 2003.But everyone loves her. We remember her by listening to her music and also because she was a wonderful person her fans still remember all of the great things that she did. The album “Quimbara” was a great song. Also Celia Cruz had a rough life because she didn’t grow up with her parents so everything was hard for her and for the people that she grew up with. But the good thing about it was that she learned how to sing by watching other people and after awhile she became a singer at first she started singing in the little village that she grew up then later she travel around the world. She became so famous when she started singing the song “azucar that’s sugar in Spanish. That was a great hit. Also her 1st performance was in the year1990 when she recorded her 2nd album. That album became a great hit when people heard it on the radio and when she first sung it.

Technology Final Draft

    cell phones  are big impacts to everyday life because some people use it for bad things and others for good things?  Many people use it for personal use.
  But others don’t.  Even though is good to have a phone, we shouldn’t use it for bad things. Some people use cell phones to text and others for other things.
     Cell phones are being a risk in life.   
 CHILDREN are advised not to use cell phones because the equipment emits some radiation and their immune systems are weaker than those of adults.
Research by British scientists has shown that children with their smaller ears and thinner skulls can absorb 50 percent more radiation than adults when using a cell phone. For a 5-year-old child, radiation will infiltrate half of the brain, while for a 10-year-old; radiation will affect 30 percent of the grey matter.
Chinese experts also claim to have ground evidence that cell phone radiation can harm the cranial nerve of younger peoples.
The number of students using cell phones is surging in China. It is common for teenagers or even younger children to chat or send short messages with their cell phones. Cell phones have on children's studies and personal social skills.
Students make and receive calls during classes. Some play games all the time. During exams, cell phones have become a new means for cheating, as students send short messages to each other.  Also when students do that they don’t pay attention in class and they don’t listen.   In the whole world there are a lot of people that uses cell phones including children’s.  Also I know some people that have cell phones and they use it almost the whole time at school, home and even in class.  Whenever they are doing something outside or inside the house they are with their cell phones doing stuffs. According to what my friend said she uses cell phones the whole time and every single day. That the only thing she does is text and making calls to friends and to her boyfriend.
