Music and its flavours.

Funny. Perhaps it is magic.

It is funny how Music spins delicate tales around people and interwines the hearts of them since everyone has different interpretations of the same piece of music. Despite that, it manages to spin intricate webs that link different people throughout the world.

This is especially felt due to the rapidly shrinking world where one end of the globe could immerse itself in the richly different culture of another living on the other side. Certainly, Music succeeds to capture the images of the ordinary and captivate the extraordinary imagination of those who has been absorbed by its intensity and magic.

The diverse culture across borders means that music which narrates similar stories are on vast ends of each pole. Yet, each successful piece of music, despite being different in nature, brings out the story within. They just achieve their means through thoroughly different methods.

And the listeners living in this age are the one who benefit most as they can easily immerse themselves in latin American music or Japanese folk music. There are burgeoning varieties to choose from as the world "shinks". It is not alien to see that in just a classroom, everyone has different tastes to music.

Interestingly, due to globalisation, cultural diffusion occurs. Cultural diffusion simply refers to the well-attested transfer of cultural items from one culture to another. It is not a surprising phenonemon to observe that music with different innate characteristics start showing similarities of different genre. Mandarin Pop now has rap and R&B. It is certainly a relevation to see how different genres of music now exhibit similar flavours as well as striving to retain its own uniqueness.

Hopefully, everyone benefits.

Goodnight, and hope you enjoy your music.
