Music and Culture
Music is an inseparable part of the culture of each nation and ethnicity. Each region and ethnicity has its own traditional music genres, reflecting their history, customs, and lifestyles. Folk music is not only a precious cultural heritage but also an endless source of inspiration for contemporary musicians.
