The Global Common Denominator
What do cultures around the globe have in common?
Music!
Starting with an appreciation for Minnesota music legends Prince or Bob Dylan,
expanded with a visit to a jazz club in New Orleans or Paris.
Sway to the beat of steel drums in the Caribbean or
celebrate along with the serenade of a mariachi band in Mexico.
Music has the ability to transcend language barriers and connect people from different backgrounds and cultures through the universal language of sound.
Pull out a memory of a destination you have visited...
chances are real good that there is music entwined in those memories!
Now spend a little time thinking of your destination 'to do' list.
There are 2 ways to look at this:
1) Travel to the favorite destination and dive into the local music scene.
Hawaii, Germany, Scotland, Africa, India, Spain, Brazil...
2) Seek a destination based on your music preferences.
Reggae, hip hop, R&B, country, salsa, jazz, classical, Afrobeats...
Along the journey, take a beat to listen and learn from
artists across the planet.
Sit back and smile in appreciation of the musical talent or,
if the spirit moves you, get up and dance!
