The musical march continues

We have reached the final quarter of the year 2024 and in less than two months we will be saying goodbye to yet another year which was filled with new expectations and high hopes.

Since the year still remains a leap one it can still spring up a few surprises. Speaking of surprises, music is one of those commodities which continuously happens surprisingly, it simply marches on in a rather surprising fashion.

Every time one hears or listens to these special songs we are surprised by how good they actually are. These songs are like good quality wine, the older it gets, the better.

A variety of musical genres is what makes and keeps music on this journey well and alive, and indeed music is kept well and alive.

Marches over the decades and centuries have been happening all over the world for a variety of reasons, but with music this march is a completely special one.

The end result or product as a result of musical marches is a different one. Different in the sense that one’s march is over spiritually, mentally and even physically we can all tell our very own special story.

Irrespective of the role or part music plays in our everyday lives, we are represented by music and therefore our different marches for music continue. We continue marching on for township music, pop, amapiano, hip-hop, reggae, kwaito, traditional folk music, afro-beats, jazz etcetera etcetera.

These phenomenal musical marches give meaning as to why our souls and minds are satisfied, even when at times our everyday social and economic realities is something we cannot sing and dance to.

But still despite all of these rather very harsh social, economic and even political circumstances we continue marching on because of music or we march on for music.
