World Music Day, also known as Make Music Day and Fête de la Musique, was launched in France in 1982. Designed as a free celebration of music around the world, it encourages all to ‘make their own music’ to promote peace and spread goodwill through music; and is celebrated in more than 1,000 cities in 130 countries across the world. Take a look at this article by Shreesha Ghosh for thoughts from music artists including that from Keith Richards:Music is a language that doesn’t speak in particular words. It speaks in emotions, and if it’s in the bones it’s in the bones.
