Music

What is Music..

Music is an art, that somehow has the element of melody and harmony to our ears. Music is a way one individual to express their feelings or emotions. All together it is created into an art. Most of the music created have meanings or definitions but some music represents cultures.

For example, the traditional music in Pahang is the Gamelan Music, and an example of traditional music in Johor is the Kuda Kepang. There are also many more traditional music in the other states of Malaysia and each of everyone of it has its own meaning. For me, I am from Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur and one of the traditional music there is the Zapin and also Ghazal. I do listen to these kinds of music because it represents our culture and also country. We should be proud of the music crated for our culture thus it is created from the roots of our culture.

But, people these days do not like to listen to these type of music anymore. It is considered boring and old. Little that they now is that, without the traditional music, music these days would have never been created. People nowadays would rather prefer to listen to modern music for example like rap, rock, and they also prefer to listen to music from other countries. Based on my opinion it is alright to listen to modern music but its is not alright to forget the roots of the music from our culture. Basicly it is also for our general knowledge. Beside that, for example, if a foreigner would ask an individual from our culture about our cultural music, and the individual would not now what to answer, wouldn't that be embarrassing? Shameful?

Modern music is also nice to hear. As I said in the begining music is created from emotions n feelings. I also listen to modern music from various artist like Ruffege, Faizal Tahir and also Artists from other countries like Eminem, My Chemical Romance and alot more. There are various music in the modern days, for example rock, pop, ballad, hiphop and a lot more. The most interesting music that has been created today is the techno. It is interesting when we think about how old music can turn into today's modern music. I hope that in the future music shall become more interesting and i also hope that the harmony of out cultural traditional song shall never be forgotten.
