Band 6+: There are many different types of music in the world today. Why do you need music? Is the traditional music of a country more important than the international music that is heard everywhere nowadays?

Recently, the music industry has evolved so much with the passage of the years that, in actuality, we have about 2,500 musical genres. But why do we need them? Why is it important for humanity, and does it persist nowadays?

First of all, to understand this, we have to go back to the beginning of humanity and art. What is art? It is a human activity capable of reproducing things, constructing forms, or expressing an experience. And art can be represented as a lot of things, and as an example of that, the first humans drew themselves hunting, eating, and observing, among many others; this is an example of the art form, and as time passed, they started to create instruments.

With these new objects created, they realized that they could produce sounds with them, and from their music was born a unique way to make art, a way that could represent feelings and experiences ingeniously, and if it continues to persist to this day, it was because the music could evolve, representing even more things and complementing the song. The national hymn of the countries is a clear example of this because it represents the pride of a country.

However, it is obvious that the more time passed, the more genres of music were going to come out and overshadow others, thus a somewhat polemic discussion about whether the traditional music of a country is more important than international music, and in my opinion, I consider that global music is much more important than anything, if it has become popular to such an extent that it is international, it is for something, right, and I know there are some exceptions, but that fact makes it for me more important. But this does not mean you have to lower the traditional music of a certain country; it is still art, art that has to be valued.

In conclusion, the music continues to persist because it is a very innovative way of representing art, and in my opinion, international music is more important than traditional music, being that this music is likely to remain impregnated in the consciousness of people for many years to come.
