#people #music #cultures #ages
It is often said that
music
 has the power to unite and connect people, regardless of their culture or age. I fully agree with
this
 point of view, and will give my reasons below.
Music
 can certainly reach across cultural and national boundaries and bring people together. Perhaps the best examples of
this
 are the Live Aid concerts that took place in the 1980s, and were broadcast to a global audience.

 competitions,
such
 as ‘The X Factor’ or ‘The Voice’, are popular programs during the golden hour. These shows attract a huge audience because popular songs and singing both attract children, parents and grandparents alike. I don't think there is any other form of entertainment that brings families together

 way. In short, I believe
music
 is unique in its ability to create shared experiences among people, regardless of culture and age.
