The band was born in 1992 in Malaga, Southern Spain, evolving from a 80's alike EBM with distorted voices to a more electro sound with energetic beats, melodic synths and meaningful lyrics boosted by powerful vocals.

After their signing with Out of Line in 1999 they have supported the mexican band Hocico in the Tierra Electrica '99 Tour, played in major festivals as WGT, M'era Luna, Infest & Eurorock, perfoming gigs in USA, Mexico and Canada, and included dozens of songs in different compilations.

Their EP "DNA Slaves" reached the 10th position in DAC charts (German alternative charts), and their second album, "Revenge", contains hits that have been spun all over the world, becoming a club classic.

In June '05 the band released a new album called "Reborn", which has received excellent reviews from the press and also reached position 3 on the DAC chart.

Recently, Distortiongirl join the band for live shows on the keyboards.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of this song by Culture Kultür called "Listen" are a call to the listener to let loose, to let go of all inhibitions and control, and simply surrender to the sound of the music. The song has a very rhythmic beat with repeated phrases of "listen to this sound, listen to my sound, listen to me" building up to a climax where the listener is urged to "lose control". This could be interpreted as a call to abandon oneself to the music, to let go of anything holding one back, and be fully present in the moment.

The repetition of phrases like "your mind, your body, your soul" suggests that the call to lose control is directed towards the whole self, not just the body, but the mind and soul as well. The phrase "step by step" is repeated several times in the song, urging the listener to take one step at a time and gradually let go, surrendering to the music. The song's message, therefore, is ultimately about the transformative power of music and how it can help us transcend our limitations and be fully present in the moment.

I find this idea very interesting. It's something that I've often overlooked when encountering cultural differences. We all see the world through our own cultural perspective, which can lead to misunderstandings.

I think it is an interesting insight. It was what I had sometimes missed when I see differences. We all have our own cultural glasses differed from another culture. However, the important thing is that we should try not to have prejudice against differences. Of course, our perspective can be changed to theirs.
Also, I was interesting that behaviors haven't been made by chance. Someone's behaviors are affected by his or her circumstances involving lots of cultural factors. We should not judge other's behaviors through our own cultural glasses. Remember that to understand one's behaviors means to know their cultures more accurately.

@mapaulabolanos

@laurenbeals5519

5y↑23

Melody Tomlinson you explained it perfectly. It’s the barrier of miscommunication that causes the initial frustration, and the feeling of helplessness that raises this tension. However, it is the decision following, the decision to continue the effort in breaking down that barrier or deciding stepping out of your comfort zone and making the effort to understand and be understood isn’t worth it. It’s the effort to find the courage to both embrace and abandon ignorance and step into another’s shoes. That was a lot haha and I don’t know if I even found the right words but I tried!

@Spawn223311

Sadly culture is the spread of all things we learn and teach between ourselves, be it negative or positive. So racism can be a part of a culture if it is common enough to be considered as such. The problem lies when people take their current believes/culture to be absolute so they prevent themselves from evolving, mentally seeing ahead or learn new things for the betterment of their people, or what it is known as ignorance.

the diversity in these lenses are perfect for culture building. We grow more from these interactions with our individual lenses on because we begin to question the standards that are set on our personal lenses, make new opinions against or in support of them.

This video could be the beginning of an interesting study related to the sociology of emotions. It could be research about how people use them to label other people's emotions and determine their relationship to a conversation and (maybe) the cultural paradigm in which they grew up.
To be honest, I have never thought about how the ideas of equality of opportunity and result correlate. Might be worth reading/seeing more on this topic.

So true and interesting what you say! Something similar happened to me yesterday!!! I grew up in North Carolina where nothing is more important than smiling, being friendly, and speaking in this protocol that basically says> If you are well educated, or not, you never ask a question until you have smiled, greeted the person with chit chat and then ask the question. After leaving NC I lived in Miami, and South American, learned Latin American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. Now I live in Madrid, Spain. I laughed that one of your talks you said people are friendly in Spain perspective is so interesting, bc `I've never heard anyone say that. I hear constantly that they are rude. Living here I've changed as well. Here's what happened.

After living in Spain and finding people here much less chatty and less friendly than the US Southern culture, and Latin America ''save Argentina' I too have become a bit drier. Yesterday I was looking for a street in downtown Madrid. A young man was hauling something that looked heavy on a cart, dolly thing. I figured he must do deliveries, he was not a tourist so he may know the street I was looking for. Thinking his load may be heavy I was trying to be considerate, take less time so not to bother him, and because after living in Spain I'm a bit more direct. I blurted out in Spanish,,,,Do you know where Calle Horteleza is? The boy stopped. Looked straight into my eyes and said very seriously, BUENOS DIAS. I knew right away he was South American and I was acting a bit barbaric for just blurting out a question. I smiled, he did not, and I said in Spanish, oh...it's because you are not from Spain. He said, WHAT????? You are not saying Good morning bc I'm not from Spain??? I said, no no no no....I didn't say good morning bc in Spain no one says that. But, you are totally right. The proper way to communicate is to first say good morning, excuse me, blah blah blah. I was rude. He said yes, you were. (certainly a New Yorker or perhaps someone from Norway would have thought I was too friendly...perspective.
I thanked him. I thanked him for reminding me of who I am. And, no he did not know where the street was. I liked the lesson.

Another point. In Spain they say HOLA only when you walk into a store. You think that is friendly. I am used to it now, but in the beginning I found it sort of rude, or uneducated, because I too am used to more formal greetings. Good afternoon, may I help you, how are you? etc. Hola to me sounded like, I am so annoyed you just waked in here and that I have to work here. Don't get me wrong. I love living here! However, after being married to a Spaniard for 20 years, I still feel totally offended if I say Would you like some water, and he says no, instead of no thank you. It is considered to me the rudest thing anyone can do. Crazy, huh? Changing my chip....

You can think of it like any other "bubble." When people "live in a bubble," it means that they are surrounded by people who think like them.

As a child, I lived in Hurdal Norway, and I remember how everyone friendly everyone was, how people stopped and spoke to you and asked how is your grandma and other small talks. This new lack of conversation is a modern-day choice of not wanting to talk, but ponder on your own selfish ideals of the day that last half a minute! You are part of that problem of creating closed up independence.

In NYC natives generally do not speak to strangers. Some of us don't talk to neighbors. I have been told that in rural areas, small towns speak to each other. Rural=homogenous. Urban=heterogeneity.

The bus stop made me laugh - here in Spain an old granny would see a full bench, elbow her way in anyway, and wriggle around until she has enough room and everyone else is almost falling off! However, don’t agree with the comment about personal space - when we feel uncomfortable, most of us realize that it’s because the other person is too close, we’re just too polite to say it, hence the dance.

This a great video but I’m still shocked that he included a correlation assumption error to try to argue that discrimination is actually good.

@smerdopsis6092

I think maybe he meant to talk about affirmative action, it can be a good thing, of course depending on your cultural view

@Grokford

@@smerdopsis6092 that’s precisely what he’s talking and a he’s advocating active discrimination based on a first year statistics mistake.

@dakotapeters5654

He forgot to mention actually there are 5 ways so he missed 2. #4) observe and continue being yourself and #5) be yourself still but show gratitude when you see the behavior you like seeing and ignore the behaviors you don't like seeing. Then eventually they usually conform to adapt into what you like.

Culture = social norms....... Sometimes however what is considered normal in a society is actually dysfunctional - especially regarding boundries: who is responsible for what..... or so it seems in some families and/or communities....

I agree with him completely, especially the part of personal space between South Americans and Northern Europeans!
South Americans actually go as far as touching the other person!

Haha what a great talk Julien! 😄 The rebels among us I'm sure love playing with this... If it were me at the bus stop and the guy stood up when I sat down I'd stand up and watch his confused little face. It's so funny these cultural practises - I just wanna sit down! It's my right. Thank you, if we clean these "cultural lenses" we will all be better off!

However when everyone is adapted to this way of thinking a new culture is created so then one needs to bring in those who are of the old culture otherwise it then becomes unbalanced once again

Everyone sees the world through cultural glasses. "Its not about what you see. It's about what you perceive."
Cultural glasses filters our reality.
