Jonathan Kramar music Theory
9. includes quotations of or references to music of many traditions and cultures
8. considers music not as autonomous but as relevant to cultural, social, and political contexts
Beyonce's 'run the world' has a hip-hop/dance genre. When writing the song with producer the Dream she stated she wanted something new that would empower women. She was inspired by the african style of dancing especially the dance group 'tofo tofo'. She then brought them to america to teach her the choreography.
The sound of Run The World heavily samples 'Pon de floor' by major Lazer (released 2009, two years before).
