Country music and universal bands on our international conversation club in Debrecen

On April 30th, our online event called the International Conversation Club was successfully made. On the international occasion, our Spanish, French and Transylvanian ESC volunteers were present, combined with other Turkish, French and Russian participants. The language of the conversation was in English and we were communicating through the Google Hangouts app.

The topic of our club was about music. Music itself is universal and easily accessible to most of us, thanks to the rapidly evolving technology. Because of this, all participants were able to comment on the topic with similar capacities. During the one-and-a-half-hour conversation, interesting debates arose and different music tastes collided. The pop genre was discussed, and the general criticisms of the country music also surfaced. Little-known Russian and Spanish performers were mentioned, and various popular songs were discussed. There was a question about whether there are any “universal” bands that are recognizable anywhere in the world and cause of this, they are basically immortal. Soon we got our answer to this, as the mention of the names ABBA and Beatles generated a big “aha” recognition in all participants.
We plan to re-organize our program in May, hopefully with similar positive results.
