Music is therapeutic. Music gives calmness. If you’re in a bad state, just listen to music. I’m not saying you will get fully healed but from time to time, music has a way of making you forget your sorrows.
In a gathering or an open place, music is needed. There was a time when I went for a naming ceremony and we all sat down there, eating and chatting with each other but there was no music and the place was very boring until we all made arrangement for a music speaker which was making everywhere bubble and everyone became happy.
Now, music has a way of bringing us together. I have seen cases where some people just started playing music aloud and maybe have some alcohol on their table then more people will begin to come. It happens like that and that’s how music helps to bond people especially when you eventually find someone who loves your favorite artiste as much as you do.
Wheh you’re in an open space and you want people to vibe to the songs you’re playing, it’s in two ways. It is either you play common songs that we are familiar with or we play songs that are very good which people will surely love.
Let’s have some of those songs.
Libianca - People
Truly, I know this song isn’t common and if I start to aak almost every member of Hive if they know this song, it may just be thirty people who are familiar with the song but when you listen to this song even without knowing it, you can tell that it’s a good one.
The beat sounds perfect, the rhythm is good and everything about the song is really nice. Even though you don’t know this song, you’d surely fall in love with it because it’s a good one.
Tshwala Bam - TitoM and Yuppe
I really can’t tell if this song went international but here in Africa, there is nowhere this song will be played and people won’t jump up. This kind of song in an open place will keep everyone on their feets. You can’t escape it especially when you know the dance step to the song.
This song is one of the hottest songs in Africa right now and when you play it, everyone will jump up.
Despacito - Luis Fonsi
If you’re with me, I said something about playing popular songs in an open place if you really want to get people dancing or want people to flow along with your song.
And when I say a popular song, I’m not talking about a song that some people will be choosy about. I want a general song that everyone likes.
This song is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard and if you are with musically inclined people, they will be able to flow well with this song while it is being played.
Brown Skin Girl - Beyonce
Anywhere this song comes up, it’s always a hit.
This is a kind of song that you can listen to in an open place. It’s not too necessary to dance but flow well with the song which will make you feel alive.
