Music is tied to society .
The function and place of music and musicians in society have been greatly modified in the course of time. As old forms disappeared, new ones were created. In Africa especially, songs have continuously played an important role in shaping social relationships. In early oral societies songs, dance and performance embodied the people's aspirations and expectations. Africans graced almost all occasions with songs and dance.
