Undeniably, music plays a very important role in the life of every human being, even if he/she is not dedicated to it in a professional manner. This is because this set of sounds has very specific effects on the brain that might surprise those who deny how influential it can be at various levels.
Since we were just kids, we are fully exposed to all kinds of musical genres, some of which can help us develop our mental and brain capacities which, as an effect, can lead to a better memory, a higher concentration and much more attention to the activities we do. At the same time, our mathematical, language and conflict resolution skills.
The ear is an extremely powerful stimulation tool for our brain, which has made it to be taken into account as one of the many ways in which certain physical and mental suffering can be treated. In the specific case of music, we must remember that not all musical genres serve to achieve the same goals, so we should evaluate each of them individually.
What effect does salsa have on the brain?
Salsa
In the case of salsa, we can say that the brain will receive a very special cocktail of adrenaline and dopamine, which will bring as a consequence the activation and relaxation of certain areas of the brain at the same time. It might seem counterintuitive, but it is really not. Given that salsa is a genre that invites to body movement, the effects are numerous, such as the stress relief, the increase in cardio-vascular capacity and a tremendous improvement in the coordination and balance.
What is happening with salsa can perfectly happen with other dance rhythms such as bachata, merengue, kizomba and many others. There are many physical trainers and coaches who use these genres to relax their clients after having used other sounds of greater impact.
Jazz
One of the biggest benefits brought by jazz on the brain is total relaxation of the body and the mind in those moments when we can be full of stress or anguish. Many used to think that this genre induced sadness in those who listen to it, but it there is evidence that the opposite can happen.
In fact, it has been proven that jazz can have the same calming effect as a cigarette in a smoker. The same can happen with blues, which is very similar to jazz, so its effects on the brain are similar.
Classical Music
A lot has been said and studied about the effects that classical music can have in certain areas of the brain. There are also many myths about it, such as becoming more intelligent when we listen to it, which has already been proven to be completely false. What is true is that it can help us develop our ideas in a better way and learn in a more optimal way. In fact, it has been proven that several symphonies put the brain in a state of alert that can be highly conducive to learning in many cases.
