Question

It is true sometimes I like the new songs. Didn't we all like to dance a bit? Does it really matter if it is influenced by western music?

Answer 1

Western influence on music is not harmful by itself. Cultural exchange can enlarge our choices and produce creative forms by combining different traditions. It becomes a concern only when foreign culture is imposed as superior, reduces the space for local music or causes traditional forms to disappear. Enjoying a new song and valuing one’s own musical heritage can exist together.
