On June 21 we will be celebrating World Music Day. The
\nfirst World Music Day was observed in the year 1982 in France when people were
\nurged to play music outdoors to participate in festivities. Since then, World
\nMusic Day has spread to other parts of the world and is now a global
\ncelebration of music. On this occasion, Bidhan Chandra Sanyal (India) shared
\nwith us his impressions: <\/p>\n
\n

The melody of life is in the middle of the song. What
\ncan be easily said in song, is often not possible to express in spoken language.
\nA song shows a beautiful way to a miserable life. Brings relaxation to health. Rabindra’s
\nmusic is the key to all that. If you want to color every corner of life, there
\nis no alternative to Rabindra songs. Where else is such relevance! Listen to
\nthe song to get rid of your sadness, you will think that the poet has written
\nthis song only for you. Herein lies the importance of music. Where all
\nthe tunes have come together in the end and you and the two are eye to
\neye…<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Nowadays, music is also used in medicine in some
\ncountries. And it has yielded good results. whatever he is<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Music has no religion, no caste, no color its
\nindividuality and individuality is so strong that it is not limited to any
\nparticular language. That is, no barbed wire fence can block the music. Therefore,
\nas the music of foreign musicians Bob Dylan or Jim Morrison has touched the
\nhearts of the people of this country, our cherished songs have also reached the
\ncourt of the world. Taking shelter of ancient and medieval scriptures and religious
\nmusic, Bengali music is expanding today in the courtyard of the future. Our
\nrich musical forms like Jari, Sari, Baulgan, Rabindra or Nazrul Geeti have made
\nBengali music richer. The widespread practice of modern music continues that
\nmusical trend. The mind is connected by the hand of music. Whether it’s a
\nmusical journey or an exploration of the unknown, World Music Day actually
\nunites the world through music. A small human child begins to hum and hum
\nbefore it can speak. If nothing else, all animals obey the sound. A ferocious
\ntiger also listens to an unknown song. From the North Pole to the South Pole -
\nacross time, age and place, tunes and songs are everywhere.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
May the music of diverse tunes continue in the world
\nculture. And may peace come to life. May peace come to this world through
\nmusic.<\/p>\n

June 21 is celebrated worldwide as International Music
\nDay. In that sense, June 21 is a special day for music lovers. International
\nobservance of this day started in France. A traditional music festival in
\nFrance is called ‘F\u00eate de la Musique’. It means World Music Day. A variety of
\nmusical events are celebrated in France around this special music festival.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Since the beginning, many musicians from many countries
\nappeared to participate in this much-discussed festival. In 1981, Jacques
\nLange, the French Minister of Culture, tried to give the festival an
\ninternational dimension. Then, in 1982, this special music festival day became
\nknown as ‘World Music Day’.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Music is a thing of the soul. People are born through
\nmusic. Music touches people in many ways. People rediscover life through music.
\nHence World Music Day is a special day for music lovers. Let’s enjoy the day
\ntogether.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nyou for keeping us up to date with celebrations all over the world! <\/p>\n

Speaking of music, check this out: As always, your
\nprogram is very informative and I enjoy listening. I also really like your folk
\nmusic. I’ve found that interestingly, almost every folk song has passages
\nsinging La La La. I find that very interesting, and it makes it
\nvery easy to sing along too! It’s an excerpt from a message we got from Xaver
\nHellmeier, who listens to our station from Hechendorf, Germany. Well, Xaver,
\nyou should know the la la thing is actually a specific feature of folk songs
\nfrom southern Romania, in particular the region of Oltenia. Many lack a chorus,
\nwhich is why the la la tune makes them easier to listen-to and learn. <\/p>\n

A word of greeting to Rubens Ferraz Pedroso, who lives
\nin Brazil but listens to our station from…Finland! Yes, no kidding. Our
\nlistener had a shack set up in Tampere, which he controls from his location – Paran\u00e1,
\nBrazil. Interesting stuff – anyone else doing anything remotely similar? <\/p>\n

A message now from actual Finland – Auvo H\u00e4rk\u00f6nen
\nlives in Lappeenranta and sent us the following message: I think programmes
\nabout Romanian life, music, culture are interesting. For instance programme
\nabout every day thing as humour is something I like. Basically things which are
\ncommon to all of us in the world are not similar everywhere anyway. When it
\ncomes to music, it\u00b4s nice to hear music which is not the same that you can hear
\neverywhere in the world. Lappeenranta is actually the setting of a famous TV
\nseries, Sorjonen, which many in Romania have seen due to being streamed on
\nNetflix. I asked Auvo if he knew about the series, and here is what he said:
\nYes, I know Sorjonen. It was a big thing at the time when it was filmed here
\nin Lappeenranta. I also was one in those groups of many people who can see in some
\nscenes. I was among people acting journalists and also as a cameraman filming
\nwhen one person were shot in the old part of the town. I was seen only few
\nseconds time on those parts but long enough to say I was there \ud83d\ude42 It was
\ninteresting to see work of those people who were doing a serial. As I know
\nserial can be seen in many countries. It also was nice to see actors who can
\nsee often in television and films. To me it was funny to act a journalist,
\nbecause I’ve really worked as a journalist in a local newspaper many years ago.
\nYes, it is a great way to see and learn something new about other country on
\nthat way. In this case some of the views of that area were not real, some
\nthings were done on computer. Anyway most scenes were real as those places
\nreally are. Well, I can say it’s great to know a movie star J Looking forward to your next movie
\nappearance, Auvo. Meanwhile, we appreciate all your comments and messages.<\/p>\n

Among your programmes, Generation 3.0 is a quiet
\nprogramme compared to the big shows such as RRI Encyclopaedia and
\nTruly Romanian, but I am interested in it, because it gives me an
\ninsight into the activities of Romanian young people.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
In recent years, the number of young people who want to study
\nabroad has been decreasing in Japan, which is a problem when considering
\ninternationalisation. Lack of language skills and a challenging spirit seem to
\nbe preventing students from going abroad, Teruhiko Kachi (Japan) commented in
\none of his messages last week. <\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
This week’s Generation 3.0 featured a student
\nstudying in Saudi Arabia, and I was impressed by her determination to change
\nher original idea of Northern Europe to a hot country and her willingness to
\nmanage the student league. I hope that not only she but also other students
\nstudying abroad will return to Romania in the future and play an active role.<\/p>\n
