MUSIC BRIDGES THE LANGUAGE GAP

March 30,2016  

FROM  GLOBE AND MAIL TRAVEL SECTION article March 29/16 by Margie Goldsmith: 

                                "I have something valuable to share- I have music"
When we travel we represent our country, but too often, because we communicate with words, we never have a chance to explain who we are .But our music breaks down barriers in a way that little else can because it is a language of the soul. (Read the article to understand what she is saying here) :So it doesn't matter if I have fancy clothes but no camels, no horses and no goats. It doesn't matter that my ger  has no fields and little sunshine. I have something much more valuable to share: I have music."
