In

 day and age,
music
 is considered one of the most popular means of entertainment around the world.
This
 leads to the claim that
music
 plays an essential part in connecting
people
 of different backgrounds and generations. In my opinion, I strongly agree that
music
 is a great way of bonding
people
 of dissimilar
cultures
 and ages. One reason is that
music
 is a global language
that is
 comprehensible to individuals. It means that
people
 of disparate

For example

 with catchy tunes and upbeat tempo even though they cannot understand a single word of the lyrics. Undoubtedly,

For instance
