PINOY MUSIC
It's not uncommon to hear some Pinoy today asking " kumakanta ka pa ba ng mga foreign songs"?
It's as if the songs you hear over the radio or television have become so taboo you would be condemned to Gehenna should you so much as allow to be entertained by any.
Popular music, as the name implies includes practically and acceptance. The term
"wide" could be taken to distinguish it from the more electric or classical or jazz. Nowadays, it is deemed to include those of the song form predominantly those with the lyrics or words that have attained to a certain degree of commercial success or acceptance.
MUSIC AS COMMUNICATION
The fact is all music can be described as form of communication.
music arose in the earliest hominids as the vocal expression of feelings, especially negative ones like sadness, agony, anger, hatred, disgust and fear. Also surprise. A positive feelings like joy, happiness and contentment. Music evolved with thinking. In fact music gave rise to languages.
One major instrument of this is music. This exploited to the hilt, from celebrating success in hunting or other eventually for providing entertainment after a hard days work at the field.
THE POWER OF SONGS
This characteristic of popular music continues to this day as song writers adapt themes from virtually all aspect of human life, from the profane to the sublime. The reason is precise by dense to the power music has on people, and this is the most specially true where the messages are more clearly understood as in case of the song form. And as a song's popularity increases, its power is multiplied. Song writers through the generations have continued to use this very potent tool to deliver whatever messages were needed for the times.
At any rate, we still have the inherent right to choice with the gift of discernment can choose what to listen and what to sing. So let the love sings can be sung and let those freedom ring.
