 a special place in our hearts, reminding us of our unaltered culture. But as modernisation has transformed each part of our lives, our culture has

 seen some changes. Conventional songs, preserve those cultures and memories, qualifying as an art that should be protected for the future generation. As there are many songs that cannot be recreated today, due to the lack of orthodox instruments and these songs are the only piece that would allow us to re-live those moments. On the flip side, international songs

 represent today's new accepting cultures. If we get judgemental about change, the progressive world starts losing its value. Concurrently, to bridge the gap, we have seen so many old melodies recreated with modern tunes in multitudes of languages. Global songs aim to share the joy of
