Happy World Music Day

“To live is to be musical, starting with the blood dancing in your veins. Everything living has a rhythm. Do you feel your music?” – Michael Jackson

The Fete de la Musique, also known in English as Music Day, Make Music Day, or World Music Day, is an annual music celebration that takes place on 21 June. The day is all about celebrating music where citizens and residents are urged to play music outside in their neighbourhoods or in public places and parks. Here, a few Indian artists share their views on World Music Day about how important it is in their lives.

Sonu Nigam

I don’t even think about it (World Music Day). My entire life is [based on] music, so what can one day attribute to music mean to me?

Kavita Seth

It (World Music Day) means the world to me. It is the day when one realizes that the only way to find peace and serenity in the world is through music.

Talat Aziz

I believe every day of the year is music day. Music has the power to heal and soothe, and in today’s stressful times, it’s much more relevant.

Asees Kaur

My mornings are incomplete without music and so are my nights. Music is my source of energy. I think music is celebrated every day by everyone in different forms, be it starting your day with a prayer or ending it with a lullaby. So, every day is music day.
