In my own aspect traditional music supercedes modern music because traditional music is connected to people's root and heritage. In recent times, modern music has gained attention more than traditional music because of many factors which where not there for traditional. Fela kuti who was the founder of afro music made much impact more than most modern artists, his legacies are still celebrated. He used his music to confront bad government and leadership that were not doing well. Fela kuti and others used their music to convey messages across to people.Most traditional music convey deeper meaning and educational messages when compared to modern music.
Modern music has gained popularity because of social media and other platforms that promotes music. Traditional music also preserves cultural identity and history of a particular culture. One can trace the root of a particular tribe through traditional music. Many individuals today dive into modern music because they want to make money. Even people without the talent and voice to produce good music engage in music because of the outcome.

This has partially rendered modern music useless because most music now do not convey a meaning or teach good morals. Many modern music choose to entertain than to educate. Traditional music is often played and enjoyed by indigenous of the community this is what fosters peace among people. Most modern music do not bring people together but it corrupts good manners. In the older days music can be watched and listen to by everyone including children but modern music has been corrupted by nudes and corrupted words which can corrupt youths. Even without modern instruments like piano bass guitar traditional music gives sweet melody. One limitation about most traditional music is that it lacked a means that can push it out of his boundaries to access global world, modern music has been shaped and advanced by technology which aids distribution.

Traditional and modern music both have their unique style and qualities and each play different impact on the society. Modern music has made people to forget their heritage especially in Africa where they are different cultures and tradition, before the coming of modernization people uphold their traditional activities but now modernization in some areas is superior.

Traditional music is gradually fading away because most traditional music were not documented and secure. Modern music has taken over traditional music in occasions and events that that actually needs traditional music.

In conclusion, traditional music conveys more values and impact than most modern music. In my opinion everyone needs to go back to his cultural and traditional activities because it is connected to one's heritage and roots. Traditional music can never be forgotten.
