“Many people think that changes in music brought about by globalisation are negative. They feel that the sounds are not too melodious and reflect a burst of energy and anger, something that is not conventionally associated with the traditional definition of music. In fact, it’s quite the reverse,” said Thomas Burkhalter on Thursday.
Burkhalter, who is from Switzerland, specialises in collecting and analysing trends in global music. He delivered a lecture at the Aga Khan University auditorium on music through the ages and trends, and changes that have been effected, especially through globalisation and a restive world riven by strife and dissension.
