MUSICAL GENRE


El paso del cine mudo al sonoro fue  fascinante. Superponiendo baile y música se inventaría un nuevo género : el musical, en el que se canta y baila atrapando al espectador.

The passage from silent to sound films was fascinating. Overlaying dance and music a new genre would be invented: the musical, in which one sings and dances by hooking the spectator.


Let's watch this documentary about the musical genre.
