The Universal Language
Music will for a long time, continuously be “the universal language of mankind.”
Music Speaks
The phrase in quote is relatable in so many ways than one. A Moroccan listens to a Zulu song come on and even without understanding the lyrics, resonates deeply with the music. The rhythm and melody of a song has a unique way of speaking and evoking emotions even more than words sometimes. This, in my opinion is the universality of the language that music speaks. The emotions of the music maker is relatable to the listener regardless of time and distance.
The above video shows the creative ingenuity of a Togolese music maker and his craftsmanship in full display.
