It is absurd to know when the first song or melody is born, but according to profound research over the years, it has been declared that the birth of music arose from certain types of behavior of primitive men in prehistory, such as chants, dances, and body blows.
Thanks to nature, primitive man made use of the riches it provides, so he built instruments that imitated the sound of his songs, and others that imitated the sound of his rhythmic blows, such as the wooden tubes as resonators that were used as flutes, the bow with strings, used shells and horns as trumpets, and for the rhythms used hollow wooden trunks with animal skin as a drum.
This manifestation was used for celebrations, rites in which they danced around the fire, the sounds of their songs were used to communicate with the gods to what they called religious ceremonies. Just as they celebrated life, they performed ceremonies to those who died, among other reasons for which they considered that this means of expression was useful to them.
As I said at the beginning, it is complex to express with precision the origin of music and to fix it in an exact date of history, but with the passage of time hundreds of studies were carried out to manifest it, to give a "valid" contribution and to explain the true sense of existence of the same one, although it continues being inconclusive.
