The music is speech and every nation has its own musical speech. Today, thanks to technology, differences in musical speech are being erased. But Muslims, peoples of Africa, China, Japan, Iran have their own music.
Music is ubiquitous and different genres or traditions with cultural differences coexist such as various spoken languages around the world. It is a language of emotions. Cultural impact is likely related to musical taste developed since childhood with favorite singers, genres, albums etc.
Asraa Ibrahim - You may have heard of Oswald Spengler, a German philosopher whose magnum opus attempts to compare various cultures and civilizations. He analyses and compares the art [and music] of various cultures in terms of their different souls - looking particularly at Western Civilisation, the young Russian Culture, Classical Greece, the Arab/Persian world, and ancient China...
I actually tried to write an essay summarising and explaining Spengler's thesis; this may be read here in ResearchGate and also [in easily accessible '.html' format] in my website http://DLMcN.com
In the words of Kahlil Gibran “music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife” and it is also “the universal language of mankind” as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow argues. Yet, it is equally feasible to argue that every nation nods to the music that appeals to them. A Korean once asked me what is the secret behind the idea that most Arabs listen to the songs of Um Kulthum, the most Egyptian singer ever.
Similarly, many people in our part of the world used to repeat the tunes of Lata Mangeshkar, the legendary Bollywood singer without really comprehending the full meanings of the lyrics.
