It has often been said that music is "the most primitive expression of the language", we have also heard that is "the language of the heart". What we can say is that us, as human beings, need music whether for entertainment or for expressing ourselves. Even as kids we started to sing first than talking. We have been so used to music that now is extremely difficult imagine a world without music.
Folkloric music represents the whole feelings of a Nation. It can be absolutely danceable, if we take Cuban Salsa and or Brazilian Bossa Nova as examples, or nostalgic and sentimental, taking Portuguese Fado as an example, what they want to express or their point of view about one simple topic. We cannot say that folkloric music is getting less important nowadays because, even though International music sells more because all the Marketing effort artists and their managers invert in that product, traditional music is something that never is going to expire and it is often being used as an inspiration for plenty of international songs. It is hard to find a popular song, or the "summer hit", without hearing some African beats and drums or American acoustic guitar.
Artists like Madonna, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, etc. use their songs to satisfy an exclusive Market segment named "fans" or supporters. Even if the song is not the best masterpiece, the whole effort marketing that product make the song sounds incredible and really catchy, in the end, you will end up buying the song or the whole album. We can say that music is the tool that all of us use to entertain ourselves could be to dance, to cry or just to feel the patriotism in our veins.
