is food for the soul. I believe everyone has heard

music

each with their own sweet flavor, genre and style.

comes in different categories. one of which is “traditional”.

is what brings tears to the eyes of public; a symbol of pride.

could be a form of meditation or a means to encourage and motivate. It had been used in a variety of occasions throughout the history: from festivals to funerals, a much needed and powerful asset to lift the spirits or crush them.
