"Music begins when dancers find a rhythm and become united by a joyous interaction. Music begins when the soul alone fashions an instrument to express that passion of silence. Music begins when an ancient instrument is mastered through hardwork. Music begins when the wind blows through objects acting as a CHIME. Music is reason itself for music links the inside without. MUSIC IS ETERNAL"

It is known that the aids infection rate never grew higher than 7% in Senegal . The reason for this is they have a tradition of 'griot'. Griot is the 'music man' who is entrusted with spreading messages of information and education to the people of the community. Thus when word of an aids epidemic broke, there was no hesitation to commission a force of the most well known musicians to share an important message with the people. And so the musicians took to the streets with loud halers singing songs describing theunexaggerated truth of aids and HIV infection. The people got the story and made an immediate choice to live without the possibility of this problem.
