Music And Language by Godfreytimesblo(m): 3:11pm On May 13, 2016
Marriage is one thing that brings not just two people together but families and sometimes it goes beyond that and get to bringing tribes together or states even countries.In times of UEFA champions league it brings people together but still in a divisive way, world cup does its own part yet divisive with different countries. Music is another interestingly big thing that brings people together and language has played its role largely.
Recently coca-cola mash-up of Nigeria artist with Kenyan artists was one interesting example of music bringing not just two countries but two sub-regions together and language surely played its part. Besides that, apart from the investment of Nigerian banks in sister African states which has foster the relationships of both countries, music has foster the relationship of countries like Ghana with Nigeria, south Africa with Nigeria, America with Nigeria and many other countries.

When you hear songs like Angelique Kidjo featuring Omawunmi or Yemi Alade featuring Sarkodie then Flavour with Sarkodie and the duets goes on like that. You hear languages coming together as a song and sounding so good, it makes music interest one excitingly.Listening to these songs, I hear barriers being broken and two nations bringing their languages together singing as one. A Nigerian is africa’s biggest pop star in Asia, Emmanuel Uwechue a Mandopop singer, found not just Stardom with a language regarded as strangest on earth by those who are not in the know, but also love with the use of music and language together. Music and language are two big tools to peace, unity, and love on earth and are very helpful to carrying each other.
