Some people say that music is a good way of bringing people of different cultures and ages together. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Music

is diversifying in

this

contemporary era. It is believed by a number of individuals that melody is an effective means of uniting the populace from different cultural backgrounds and generations.

However

, I, completely agree with

this

point of view because

music

has the power to influence one’s feelings including bringing about global

language

.

To begin

,

music

has the ability to evoke a wide range of emotions in the listeners

such

as sadness, anger and happiness regardless of their country of origin.

Although

the

language

may be incomprehensible due to the

language

barrier, their melody is linguistically neutral.

This

implies that one does not need to understand the

language

used before they enjoy the song.

For instance

, a Nigerian may fall in love with a Chinese pop song or may shed tears while listening to a melancholic piece of

music

written by a Korean Artist.

Therefore

music

has a universal

language

that transcends all cultural boundaries.

Furthermore

,

music

is a common ground for people to understand each other irrespective of age. In recent times, youngsters have access to songs released decades ago and find them interesting like reggae, rap and disco, whereas, the older generation tends to fancy modern

music

such

as hip-hop and TikTok shorts more.

For example

, in 2019, when a popular artist Olu Jacob celebrated his 90th birthday, it was graced by both the elderly and young while songs from divergent generations were played by the DJ (disco jockey) to entertain the audience. Evidently, age has no constraints on musical enjoyment. In conclusion,

music

has a great influence on bonding people around the globe.

Nonetheless

, I, totally agree with

this

opinion because an individual’s genre, as well as culture, has no restriction on their emotions and perception towards any type of

music

.
