    GENRES AND STYLES 

    Interested to discover music of many kinds, across time, place, peoples and age-groups, in a cross-cultural melting-pot? 

    sQuarish productions and music help children explore all sorts of music, in many genres and styles, often mixing things up a bit... 

    …from ambient-chill to African, aleatoric to anciently-antiquated, bluegrass to bhangra, bossa-nova to baroque, big-band to boogie-woogie… 

    …from cool-jazz to classical, charleston to cha-cha-cha, doo-wop to drones, dance-band to disco, epic to easy, experimental to ethereal… 

    …from flamenco to foxtrot, folk to free-jazz, gregorian to grunge, gypsy-jazz to garage, heavy-metal to hip-hop… 

    …from impressionist to indie, jazz-funk to jive, klezmer to karaoke, latin to lullabies… 

    …from minimalist to madrigal, mariachi to medieval, noise-music to nose-music, new-age to Nashville, ornithological to old-school, organum to orchestral… 

    …from pibroch to plainsong, prehistoric to polka, quadrille to quiet-quiet, rockabilly to ragtime, rap to renaissance, rumba to reggae… 

    …from square-dance to soul, symphonic to smoochy, tudor to tango, techno to twist, urban to underground… 

    …from video-game to vaudeville, waltzing to world-music, xylophone to xhosa, yodelling to yeah-yeah-yeah and from zydeco to zumba… 

    So, which of these styles can you hear in these sQuarish tracks…?
