MY! Music
World Music Day is also known as Fête de la Musique is a unique annual celebration of music, which takes place on June 21. It is also known as Music Day or Make Music Day. On this day, usually young and amateur musicians are encouraged to perform. World Music Day allows anyone to play their favourite instruments in neighbourhood parks and open spaces for people to enjoy. Music lovers organize free concerts and other musical events.
World Music Day is celebrated to honour the musicians and singers for the gift of musical talent and to celebrate the power of this art.
This day was initiated by French Minister of Art and Culture, Maurice Fleuret, who was a composer, radio producer, music journalist and festival organiser. He with his fellow mate Jack Lange started Fête de la Musique in Paris in 1982, and since then, it spread to many countries. The idea behind celebrating the day is to get musicians, both amateurs and professionals, to come out onto the streets and play their instruments.
“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.” -Bob Marley. Music is created to add melody to words and express feelings better. Music for the soul; Dance for the grind; Instruments for the beats; and lyrics for the mind. Have a Happy World Music Day everybody!
