issue or not. Meanwhile, I fully agree that the state should fund its cultural tradition in order to preserve its own essence. Admittedly, cultural norms and values have been handed down for hundred years, but now they are starting to disappear as a consequence that people don't support artists from their own nation. A very good example is my country, Paraguay.

, shows and ceremonies are extremely expensive as well, so for that ,reason it's impossible for teenagers to get any knowledge about their culture, Having said that, it's the authority's job to hand the traditions down and keep them strong by providing free ceremonies or shanties and dirges in schools in order to catch young generation's attention.
On the other hand

musicians have been outstanding by their own people. To give an example, in Paraguay we count on outstanding musicians,

cultural issue and we must start to recognize the talent that each nation can offer by appreciating artists, musicians and dancers.
