Historical context of music
If we look at the evolution of music, it becomes clear that it represents a constant element of human life. According to a historical analysis, music has always been an essential means of communication and accompanies all human activities - from festivals to religious ceremonies to political movements. The importance of music as part of cultural heritage and identity is reflected in the emergence of various musical styles and national anthems in the 19th century. These anthems often tell stories of military and national strength, but rarely delve into the cultural roots of communities. Song meaning illuminates the exciting role of music in social and political processes and how it repeatedly serves as a mouthpiece for protest.
The last few years have also shown how digitalization and globalization are revolutionizing the musical landscape. Musical styles come and go, mixing and forming new cultural identities. Hip-hop and Afrobeat are just a few examples where this exchange is in full swing. The event in Potsdam will not only stimulate discussion, but also actively contribute to the creation and strengthening of local and global communities.
