Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Music, celebrations, social gatherings and festivals have always been part of the lives of human beings, which is why the historical beginning of music festivals cannot be exactly stated. The lack of historical accuracy is proof that a need for music and social happenings has always existed among people. Moreover, music s influence on peoples cultures and governments has shown to be of great importance regarding the development of our international society.
