What kind of music do I listen to? I listen to all kinds of music, every genre of music I have and the type of music I listen to depends on the type of mood I'm in, so if it's night time and I want to relax, I listen to classical. If I'm doing work, I want to listen to something mellow or if I'm exercising, I listen to something more upbeat so I love all kinds of music and it just depends on my mood.

My favorite music would have to be Jazz. I love Jazz from the bottom of my heart. I think it's music that's suits me. It really brings out so many great emotions in me. It's also a way for me to relax and just enjoy my time and I just really love it. It makes me feel good.
Lupe, United States / Mexico
I'm a music lover so when people ask me what my favorite type of music is I really never have a straight answer. I love to listen to all types of music and I love listening to Spanish music, English Music. I have favorite singers, not necessarily a favorite genre. I really listen to whatever I'm in the mood for. If I'm going out I love fast music so that I can dance. If I just want to relax, I'll listen maybe to a little bit of jazz, blues, or just lounging music.

What kind of music do I like? The music the I like best is the bands that play live in the pubs. Generally, they are really good to go and watch. We have a lot of bands come through my town where I live. Generally every Saturday night we go to a band and watch it. It's better than listening to it on the radio.
