Introduction Art is a very important element. It is a concept that has been in existence as long as human beings have existed. Art have a lot of importance which can be derived in terms of the values attached to it. The values are of different kinds depending on the type of art and the way people perceive them. Despite the fact that art has been there since time immemorial, there are still people, especially in developing countries, who do not recognize and appreciate the human values that are contained in these arts as a result of many factors for instance ignorance, which has in turn been caused by lack of proper awareness creation on the values and importance.

Some types of music and theater work could for example be popular in some regions and unknown in others depending on the populations, their culture and what they believe in and adore. The regional aspect of art can well be understood through the aspect of culture where each culture is characterized by particular elements.
