Pretty Good

I think the movie "Coco" portrayed modern day latino music very well. With all of the music that was produced in coco, and the instruments they used were used in the movie, and just the overall sound and dancing that was portrayed was exactly how modern day latino music is performed and portrayed as in today's world. Although the singing isn't as perfect as it is portrayed in Coco but it really hit the spot with how Miguel would scream or yell before he sang. In modern latino music doing that is quite an impressive characteristic that someone can perform cause not everybody can do it at that high of a pitch for as long as they do it is really something special. Overall Coco was an amazing film and I think since it was animated it really was created to teach more of the younger population about the mexican holiday "el dia de los muertos", yes they could have made it with actual people but then the younger kids wouldn't have been able to learn and experience the holiday and learn overall about the mexican culture. These days in mexico when people or a band sing, since dancing is a big part of their culture they tend to draw fairly large crowds "Brazilian Melissa Carvalho of the Capoeira Academy of Gainesville said the mix of martial arts, acrobatics and dance has helped draw people to the culture of Brazil."(Cindy Swirko, September 27, 2014). Since people tend to enjoy the music and love dancing to the live performances and during parties, in the film "Coco", "Music style includes genres such as Salsa, Bachata, Latin Pop and Regional Mexican music"( Neil Vogel,2016). Overall the movie "Coco" very well portrays exactly how the latino culture is today with all of the music that is played throughout the movie and all of the dancing that is performed in the movie and it especially a great movie because it targets the younger population so they can learn about other cultures as well.
