Music is the universal language of mankind.  ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Outre-Mer

Muisc transcends language. It is feeling,vibe, emotion. It is not even necessary that you know the language of the person you are lstening too. Have you ever listened to an Opera singer and heard the pain in his/her voice regardless if you know the language at all. It is enough to make you emotional and cry. That is when you know you have GOOD Music. When you are trapped in that emotion and there is nothing you could do about it but just ride it out. Regardless of the language it could take you places where you never thought possible.

Have you ever been to a place on a vacation or otherwise that the people don’t speak your language. The music of the place I feel brings you closer to that particular culture and makes the moments of your experience more enjoyable. It is almost as if you are now a part of that culture and that is based on the power of music without even knowing what the artist may be saying.

Even your everday language can be altered and flipped around in a way that is different and new. Slang words have become a staple in hip-hop for many years and if you listen closely to the LYRICS it paints the pictures for you and may describe a place you’ve never been too but it puts you there thru the language and emotion. I remember hearing Only Built For Cuban Linx for the first time and was so drawn by not only the groundbreaking production but the language the slang. The way that Rae and Ghost were able to paint pictures of  street life , one that I’ve never been a apart of specifically but it felt like I was. The language and the raw emotion was enough to put me as well as millions of other fans right in the heart of the park hill and stapleton projects. That is the power of GOOD music and how music can be the universal LANGUAGE of mankind.
