Band 6.5

With a global culture evolving, some people feel that traditional music is getting superseded by international music. Do you agree with this statement?

People
 listen to
music
 for various reasons like to change the mood, to relieve stress, to be nostalgic or simply for entertainment. It has always been a source of inspiration to many artists. Due to its therapeutic value, it is
also
 used as a cure for many psychological disorders.
Music
,
thus
, is intangibly dissolved in our lives. Talking about the variations in
music
, in India itself we find different
music
 in every region, every state. Due to globalisation, our folk
music
 has disseminated to different parts of the world and is getting worldwide recognition. In
this
 scenario, it is obvious that even
music
 from other countries would be adopted by our country. Some
people
 think that the youth are highly influenced by
such
 foreign
music
 and so are forgetting their own traditional
music
. I slightly differ from
this
 opinion. I feel
music
 has only one language, be it national or international. The kind of
music
 does not make any difference as the end result is the same - a soothing effect. Due to technological progress,
people
 are now exposed to a multiplicity of
music
. As far as folk
music
 is concerned, it is still played on social occasions like marriages and even on festivals when youngsters dance to its tunes with great exuberance. In fact, it is
also
 getting highly popular internationally through movies.
Therefore
, it would not be right to say that it is losing its popularity. A lot of Indian classical
music
 maestros, like Ustad Bismillah Khan, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, have
also
 highly contributed to making our
music
 international. Mother nature has provided us with beautiful
music
 like the sound of chirping birds, flowing water, blowing wind, and even silence of nature has its own
music
. It is a language in itself and knows no boundaries. A healthy exchange of
music
 has done nothing less than bringing
people
 closer and giving them a chance to know other cultures.
