How a Paperclip Can Change Your Life: The Hidden Power of Everyday Objects

EL GRITO DE CHARRO MEXICANO.

La música de mariachi, banda y norteña probablemente no serían lo mismo sin un grito en medio de una canción. El grito es una forma espontánea de expresar emoción y sentimiento, es una tradición "muy Mexicana".

"El grito es una expresión que sale naturalmente cuando más sientes la música"

"Es algo que se debe hacer cuando es una buena canción, como en la de 'Acá entre nos' [que interpreta Vicente Fernández]. Casi te hechas un grito cuatro veces".

Vicente Fernández, considerado un emblema de la música ranchera en el mundo, se "avienta un grito" en sus canciones que hablan de desamor y despecho como lo es "Volver, volver", entre otras.

"Cuando uno siente un grito es porque usualmente te identificas con algo que dice la canción, a veces es amor o desamor. A veces sólo lo haces porque es contagioso. Cuando yo me hecho un grito a mi me hace sentir orgulloso de ser mexicano, sale del alma".

"Es casi necesario incluir un grito en la música mexicana porque el grito también habla de la historia de México y nos hace únicos como mexicanos",  "A mi me gusta echar un grito por que me hace sentir más apasionado con la canción, sea cual sea, una de amor o un son como 'La negra'. Me hace sentir orgulloso de ser mexicano".

El Grito de Charro Mexicano es  algo natural, indica celebración, dolor, pérdida de un amor o simplemente una persona herida. Pero dentro de todo eso, un grito le pone más sentimiento a la música Mexicana.

These various expressions for affirmation encompass a wide range of tones and levels of formality. In everyday conversation, a simple "yes" or "yeah" suffices, and a touch of informality may be added with "sure" or "absolutely." When assurance is absolute, phrases like "without a doubt, yes" and "most definitely" leave no room for ambiguity. In informal settings, a resounding agreement might be expressed with "you bet" or "hell yeah," and a casual "totally" or "yup" carries a similar sentiment. For matters necessitating decorum, a formal approach may entail phrases like "I wholeheartedly agree" or "indeed," while "I concur" and "affirmative" maintain a level of professionalism. Politeness sweetens the agreement in expressions such as "I'd be happy to" and "that sounds wonderful," demonstrating eagerness to comply. A touch of wit adds a layer of humor to the affirmation, as seen in expressions like "in a New York minute" or "is the Pope Catholic?" In more refined circles, the upper class might communicate their agreement with endearing phrases like "absolutely, my dear" or "most assuredly," maintaining a level of warmth. For royalty, an affirmation is conveyed with grace and respect, as in "by all means, Your Majesty" or "it would be my honor, Your Highness," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.
