Ethnic Instruments: Music and Time
July 9th, 2008 . by adminThere is no scarcity of quotes showing people’s appreciation to the power of music. People all over the world love music - whether pop, jazz, R&B, soul or rock and roll. Music has evolved so much through the years starting from the days of Elvis, Beatles, ABBA, Madonna, Nirvana, Michael Jackson, (gasp!) Britney Spears to David Cook. Most people’s concept of music starts and ends with the popular genre. What we don’t consider is that music predates even the saxophone era of ghetto clubs. Music started way, way back, just about the same time when ethnic instruments were finding their place in society. People of ancient world already had music almost simultaneously as when they first discovered fire. Good thing, music companies try to bring back the glory days of old music through propagating and reintroducing ethnic instruments.
