World Music Day celebrations remain muted due to pandemic restrictions
The World Music Day is celebrated on the twenty first of June. If one is not mistaken, the first of October is the United Nations International Music Day. This year, the World Music Day has been like no other even if we take into consideration the impact of the pandemic. Last year, most people had hoped that it might blow away without leaving any permanent scars. However, as the months dragged by, it became more of an endurance test than the sanguinity of declaring victory after a brief battle.
Obviously, music, like many other arts, has suffered immensely. Even if one considered the valiant effort of holding events like the Euro Vision, the Golden Globes and the Oscars partly online, this jargon is starting to dominate the verbal discourse.
