April, Ghetto Kids joined the show and they won the Golden Buzzer in the middle of their show. With the Golden Buzzer, they could go straight to the semi-final (半决赛) of the talent show. They are the first to get the honor (荣幸) in the middle of the show in BGT history.

Ghetto Kids is a dance group from Uganda, a country in Africa. A man named Daouda Kavuma started it in 2014 after he found the talent of some kids aged between 5 and 13 in his neighborhood. They lived a poor life at that time. Kavuma gave them food and love and helped them go to school. He also taught them to dance. With his help, the group mixed African dances with today’s popular dances to make a unique (独一无二的) dance style.

In fact, the group got popular online in 2014 when Kavuma shared a video of five kids dancing to the music Sitya Loss. In 2015, the group brought their unique dance to other countries in Africa. They got popular around the world in 2017. In January 2023, Ghetto Kids went to France to dance for a club. Then in April, they joined Britain’s Got Talent. The kids danced with energy and passion (活力和热爱) in the show and got many likes.

Kids in the group are talented. They have big hearts. Though coming from a poor place, they made a difference with their wonderful dance and great passion.

You might like to listen to music while studying. What kind of music is your favorite? An experiment done with British workers found that listening to classical music at work can improve one’s efficiency (效率) by 15%. A study of 2,000 British workers found that half of them often listen to music on the job. Some of their bosses encourage them to do so, while others are against it, believing it hurts their work.

British scientist Becky Spelman did an experiment to find out if background music hurts or improves efficiency. In the study, four office workers were asked to copy two 600-word sets of passages. The group worked on the first set with no music playing and worked on the second set with classical music playing in the background. It took them 20 minutes and 59 seconds to finish the first set. The time for the second set was 17 minutes and 42 seconds.

Classical music can work as a kind of white noise, according to Spelman. “White noise is a mixture of sounds with different frequencies (频率). It can help people stay cool and calm. In fact, as long as the music has a calm beat, it can help us slow our heartbeat and stay calm. This makes it easier for us to work quickly and carefully,” Spelman said.

African Americans (非裔美国人) added a lot to the history of music between 1900 and 2000. Blues, rock and rap are all important musical developments (发展). The blues is sad, slow music from America. Blues musicians are often African Americans. Blues songs often tell sad stories because Africans in America had difficult lives.

Rock music comes from America too. It started in the 1950s. The slow, sad blues and American country music come together to make rock. It’s good for dancing. Blues musicians usually play alone, but rock musicians usually play together.

Rap music comes from African American music. It first started in the 1970s when young African Americans played on the streets of New York City. Many people now think that the words of rap music are really poems. Rap is very important in pop music.
