There are many different types of music in the world today. Why do we need music? Is the traditional music of a country more important than the international music that is heard everywhere nowadays?
It is true that a rich variety of musical styles can be found around the world.
Music
is a vital part
of all human cultures for a range of reasons, and I would argue that traditional music
is more important than modern, international music
.
On the one hand, music
is something that accompanies all of us throughout our lives. As children, we are taught songs by our parents and teachers as a means of learning the language or simply as a form of enjoyment. For example
, children delight in singing with others, and it would appear that the act of singing in a group, creates a connection between participants, regardless of their age. In addition
, later in life, people’s musical preferences develop, and we come to see our favourite songs as part
of our life stories. Music
both expresses and arouses emotions in a way that words alone cannot. In short, it is difficult to imagine life without it.
On the other hand
, in my opinion, traditional music
should be valued over the international music
that has become so popular. International pop music
is often catchy and fun, but it is essentially a commercial product that is
marketed and sold by business people. Traditional music
, by contrast
, expresses the culture, customs and history of a country. Traditional styles, such
as a way of dressing or celebrations, connect us to the past and form part
of our cultural identity. It would be a real pity if pop music
became so predominant that these national styles disappeared.
In conclusion, music
is a necessary part
of human existence, and I believe that traditional music
should be given more importance than international music
