THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Love it or hate it. It can\u2019t be denied the Europeans have their own style and definition of DeeJaying. Actually, it\u2019s this distinct flair of recognizing overseas talent that Tambor needs to embrace its burgeoning global presence. Also, worth noting, the beat of the drum travels not only domestically but globally. It is this rhythmic journey that treks across all lands, seas, cultures and villages delivering the language of music. No matter the language barriers and\/or cultural barriers a person speaks or holds, music speaks the same language. Music captivates the heart, stirs the soul and moves the body to dance. It is by this same language that house music has impacted the world. After all, music is the universal language.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This communication explains how a person living in a distant land known for art, fashion and food is impacted by sounds created and crafted in far away places. It\u2019s this phenomenal process which drives a youth to pick up turntables and mix records. It is through this transference; a person creates and records music in a basement or bedroom studio. It is this experience which drives the passion for some to become worldwide-traveling ambassadors of music.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hence, Tambor\u2019s recent headliner, the DJ\/producer from the country shaped like a boot, brought to the table a pooh-pooh platter of audio tastes ranging from afro-beat\/latin \/deep -house\/house\/soul\/funk and disco. Unfortunately, the above positives might have been overshadowed by murmurs. Lest we forget, when it comes to house music\/deep-house\/afro-beat\/latin-beat\/ancestral, or whatever the latest categories, music is music!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Personal taste or regional flavors of music cannot be allowed to solely dominate as to cut off the overall experience needed for purposeful measurement. Certainly, personal taste or regional taste may favor some genres of music over others, but by no means does this define superiority of one preferred form of music over others. Neither should another form of music be categorized as inferior. The often quoted and misinterpreted statement, \u201cthat\u2019s not soulful or soulful enough\u201d is highly regarded as scripture. Again, what moves the soul of one may not move the soul of another or vice versa. So too this proverbial statement leans less to proven fact but more towards personal interpretation.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The universal language of music speaks, \u201cMusic Is Music.\u201d From Stevie Wonder to Moloko the language of music remains unchanged. Therefore, the focus should not be predominately based on the style of the music or the song selections chosen but rather the letting go of complacency and allowing the unfamiliar and the unique to solicit a new heartfelt experience. If the heart is open without prejudices then the discoveries of new, hidden and fascinating treasures await to satisfy the hunger of the soul. Also, it is up to the individual what he or she makes of the experience. Remember, if you contribute nothing then you receive nothing. If you put in your best then the best will be returned to you. There is much to be said about these lessons and we as pure music lovers should strive to learn from it.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The appreciating of a new musical language or at least furthering the understanding of the music we appreciate can provide additional enlightenment. For example in linguistics, one never stops learning or improving their native tongue and even learns other languages. The wise dabble in continuous learning with appreciation. Rather it\u2019s the study of challenging vernacular, grammatical correction or improving complex spellings. The wise know they have not been taught all or KNOW all. Wisdom lays the foundation and from that it is built upon. The wise do not grow complacent in one particular discipline of study but rise to the occasion to study the unfamiliar and unknowns.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The same must be said of true music lovers. We can never allow ourselves to stop growing in music. Often times, the mentioned, \u201cmusic evolves and therefore, we must evolve\u201d serves as a firm reminder. Not to say, to deny your favorite song or favorite genre is recommended but to become stagnant with a favored musical format or song from yesteryear silences the heart\u2019s capability to discover the new. To not be open, stunts growth, hinder movements and divides tribes.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Therefore, we music lovers must not fall victim in sticky entrapments of personal tastes that silences the universal voice of music. It should be duly noted we are vessels to extend the arms of music\u2019s reach to those who are unfamiliar or uneducated with what we musically love. Especially, in this day and age where a new generation has not experienced the power of certain genres of music we were blessed to experience. Certainly, there is no time for bickering, strife and division. So without presumption, let\u2019s come together, unite and create a positive synergy that showcases to the world the brilliancy of the power of music in an impacting way.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Love it or hate it. It can\u2019t be denied the Europeans have their own style and definition of DeeJaying. Actually, it\u2019s this distinct flair of recognizing overseas talent that Tambor needs to embrace its burgeoning global presence. Also, worth noting, the beat of the drum travels not only domestically but globally. It is this rhythmic journey that treks across all lands, seas, cultures and villages delivering the language of music.
