Wikipedia
A musician is a person who plays or composes music. Musicians can be classified by their role in production, including instrument and genre: A singer (also called a vocalist) uses his or her voice as an instrument (rarely considered a musician unless he/she composes music). An instrumentalist plays a musical instrument. Composers and songwriters musical compositionmake up music and write it down. A Conductingconductor coordinates a musical ensemble.Musicians may also dance or produce choreography. The concept of the musician and the status of the musician in society is culture-specific. Think, for instance, about your own concepts relating to "the heavy metal musicheavy metalist", "the folk musician", "the DJ", "the sarangi player", "the female drummer", and so on. See also: performer.Musicians may also be distinguished as amateur or professional. Professional musicians may work freelance, contract with a studio or Record labellabel, or may be employed by an institution such as a church or business such as a Bar (establishment)bar.Songs may be produced by some animals, including birds. Although many would surely debate whether birds are musicians, their ability to produce variations on the characteristic song of their species is a subject deserving more research (though relating less to music and more to animal communication). The freestyle chatter of even common birds, although lacking the complexity of methods employed by human beings, must be regarded as having some relation to the origins of music. Human beings did not begin producing music by banging away on a Musical keyboardkeyboard, nor are they the only creatures which respond to (or produce) rhythm and melody.

Usage note - It should be noted that although in many cases the name of the player is made from the name of the instrument + ''"ist"'', it does not work for all instruments. ''Trumpetist'' for example is nonsense. There are also widespread differences in the acceptability of some of these terms: for example ''percussionist'' is in general and uncontested use whereas ''violist'' is not.Suggested reading: A. P.

Mexican Music
MARIACHI DOS MUNDOS define the appealing sounds of the Mexican Mariachi in a new way: They play the happy familiar themes of Mexican music side by side with the melancholy sounds of cuban Boleros, using classical string arrangements along with wild interludes from the brass section.This creates a fascinating mixture of dance rhythms and musical virtuosity with just a pinch of self irony. Taking traditional songs as their starting point (Mexican Corridos and Polkas as well as Cuban Son ), these musicians extend their musical repertoire with their own arrangments of Latin American classics and Rock songs.

Electric Purgatory: the fate of the black rocker
Electric Purgatory is a documentary that examines the struggles of black rock musicians and the industry's ambivalence towards them. Director Raymond Gayle spent the better part of a year traveling around the United States interviewing many of Black Rock's elite including Fishbone, Vernon Reid, Adam Falcon, Jimi Hazel and Cody Chesnutt. Distinguished journalists such as Flip Barnes, Darrell McNeil, Charlie Braxton, and Greg Tate, share their opinions and insight on the dilemma facing these artists. The film will explore the origins of the Black Rock Coalition and its relevance in the music industry. The project will also take a look at the stigma Black Rock musicians face in the Black community and more importantly how to bring the Black audiences back into the fold.
