MUSIC

Music is the universal language that unifies all people in the world. First of all, people can understand the beauty of music regardless of their race and nationality. For example, European or American tourists in Bali can really enjoy the Balinese atmosphere because of the Balinese traditional gamelan music. Secondly, music also enables the mixing between Western and Asian culture, creating a wonderful harmony together. A prime example is Bob James’ album, “Angels of Shanghai” where he cooperated with a Chinese Orchestra to produce unique ethnic-jazz fusion. Thirdly, music contributes a lot to the peace of humanity. Popular songs such as “Heal The World” and “Ebony and Ivory” have raised people’s concern about the importance of interracial unity. Lastly, the rapid development of technology enables people from different cultural backgrounds to share music easily by using the internet.This is the proof that humans perceive music as a collective matter that belongs to everyone regardless of their race and culture. As a conclusion, music is definitely an essential language to maintain harmony in our beloved mother earth.
