Hi guys,
To be honest, I have never thought why the music is called 'jungle'.
When I was listening to my friend's tape, there was a music sounded like
jungle. I said so, and began to explain where the music has come from
and how it sounds like. But my friend interrupted me, saying that "I
recomend you not to call that as jungle. I don't know you are not racist,
but if somebody hear that, he/she maybe regard you like that."
Actually, now I go to a small University in the midwest of the United States.
Very few people know about Jungle here, of course. And he is one of those
who has never heard of the music.
I felt kind of very bad to be prohibited (it was literally just a recomendation,though) to use the word. However I couldn't talk back, because I had no
idea who named it 'jungle', and why and in which context he/she chose the name
for it. I don't want to believe that somebody named it after some stereotype
of the general 'Jungle'.
If you have any clue, please let me know.
Renny
