Music and racism
Abstract
Music is the art of combining instrumental or/ and vocal sounds combined in such a way as to
create beauty of emotional expression, form, and harmony. Music has played a key role in the
fight against racism all over the world. Many musicians find music more convenient way to pass
their message because the message can reach many people within a short time.
Music has for quite some time been a great uniting force, contributing to social unity and thus
increases the efficiency of group activity. In the 80s, songwriting and direct political statements
received at least some cultural criticism – which was necessary. For instance, the song by
Specials neatly, Ghost Town, expressed the sad mood of the Thatcher era (Goodyer).
The music done by Black performers was an important planks for a drive that bolstered the
“music that breaks down people’s fear of one another” slogan. Formed in 1978, Rock Against
Racism (RAR) was a platform that united white and black musicians. White persons began going
to concerts with black artists. The public started to learn about various dances, cultures, foods
and languages. Today music still stands as an excellent means to associate with young generation
(Bradley).
Music has an extraordinary power, politics and music ought to always be blended. In Brazil, for
instance, music constantly assisted the young generation to comprehend what was happening in
politics and to martial against them, particularly in 1960s when they had the Military as tyrants.
Any person who frequently listens to a song will over time get carried away by the message
conveyed by the song and definitely rises awareness. Glenn, Sydney, Australia composed a song
named Sharpesville, which expressed and fought the apartheid rule in South Africa. This
particular song demonstrated to be an illustration of the great influence of music against racism
since it led to press interviews in German media that boosted cognizance on the theme in
Germany. It also caused defacement of the Band van of Sunny Jim by white racist graffiti in
South Africa.
Despite the fact that music is one of the ways of fighting racism, the music industry has faced
many challenges. The separation of target audiences and genre implies that much of that
harmony and unity becomes decreases and vanish. In addition, performers and bands joining the
movement to protect their individual image and for their own benefit. These artists separate from
the bands that really do a lot in dealing with the social discrimination, for instance Propagandhi.
Music is an art that can be used to pass message either positively or negatively and that depends
on the intensions of the writer. Music has contributed largely in the fight against racism all over
the world. Musicians should pass message in their songs that portray unity among the audience

irrespective of ones race. Furthermore, the music should not stray away from provoking issues,
and stating dissent.
Currently music has diversified in styles, genres and types. However, musicians should remain
focused on the social issues affecting society such as racism.
