iTunes Hit List: Indie

Music is the expression of our hearts. It shows how we feel, think and communicate. It is a huge aspect in our society. Indie music originated from the word independent in the 1950’s-1960’s. Independent stands not only for self-governing and liberation, but for the freedom to express thoughts through music. Usually, music genres express a certain rhythm or style. Indie is different from this stereotype because it is a mixture of blues, jazz, rock and poetry. It is art for the ear.
