Music inspiring understanding





Music gets to my soul and to my heart, and it helps me connect to the world.   Tunes of African drums, Salsa tunes, Arabic chants, Gospel songs and even some violin classics caressed my ears while navigating around the very colorful and vibrant streets of Accra, Ghana.  
Taxis, markets, restaurants and almost everywhere had an upbeat atmosphere that made me feel like dancing all the time. The Ghanians have a contagious smile and rhythm that makes daily routines, joyful and possible when it is thought to be impossible. Play music with rocks, really? Indeed, it is fun. When culture barriers are an issue and when I was lost in the city, the friendliness and empathic attitude of the people around, made positive lasting memories about Ghana.  Does music make the time go faster, things work more efficiently and helps us connect? I wonder. Definitely, music and dancing like nobody is watching, feels amazing. Shall we play music and shall we dance to inspire understanding? Have a vibrant day today!
