Abstract

People listen to music for different reasons. For me it's an introspective individualistic process. I examine the artists' lyrics in hopes that their expression will help me learn more about myself and life, in general. For others, music is the notes strung together to compose an orchestra. For others, music is the strong pounding rhythmic beats to gyrate to in night clubs. music is the universal language- it is self-expression, and words aren't necessary for validation.Like people's interpretation of music differs, musical styles differ as well. Depending on the make-up of a particular community, music reflects the beliefs and attitudes of any given set of people.
In China, music is characterized by gongs and chimes, which is reflective of their ceremonies and their ethnic culture. Africa is a continent rich in music, and may be able to put its resources to good use by exploiting the music industry and becoming a part in order to sustain themselves in the global market.
