It's World Music Day, June 21 has been set aside as a date for the celebration of the art of music.

Music is as dynamic as it gets and is enjoyed by all ages and cultural backgrounds across the several countries of the world.

The history of how the day came to be is traced back to France as far back as 1976 when it was proposed by a French-based American theorist who proposed an all night music festival to celebrate the summer.
