Report: "Music" by Yolanda Ncokotwana

Music the sounds that move us, sounds that create us, sounds that inspire us music is the healer of lost souls it is the comforter of the lonely. Its keeps us company in parties and in funerals. Music is a character on it's on.

What would the world be with out music? Music breaks the walls that divide us it joins us together. It makes is listen with out hearing the words, the is nothing that could ever be so powerful and stronger. Notional anthems were made for such; music is languages that we all understand with out asking the next person. The sounds that are created by deferent instrument are recognizable to the ear with out any one ever telling you. Music is a beautiful language that can help us communicate with out saying a word. It's about the emotions and the massage that the music has.

From the begging of time there was music the thing that connected us. Generations before our time they set around the fire place and told ancient stories that where passed on to us I can not imagine Africa with out music. Its part of who we are, its part of our culture. In every South African celebration it's never celebrated with out music. I can not imagine a football with out with out music the motivation that players get from music is irreplaceable.

Since I have come here in German I have not had music that is authentically German as I would liked because to me sound from deferent places never ever sound the some and I would really love to hear the sounds of the music here. I would love to thank Barbara for welcoming us with such a warm arms and Tom and Philina I really feel home this has been my home away form home.
