Culture is embedded in music and dance. Throughout history when a
culture is under attack, music and dance from the suppressed culture is
one of the things targeted. Happens over and over. From Rap being
censored to specific instruments being deemed bad or inappropriate for
women to play. The wider the targeted music, the more totalitarian the
attacking group is trying to be.
And it never works. People keep
making the music they love no matter what punishments are involved. In
fact, it often backfires and makes the music from the suppressed culture
more popular and more beloved.
So let's just keep right on enjoying all the different kinds of music and dance out there!
