Some call music “the universal language”. But how many songs do you know in one of the world’s 6,000+ languages besides English? Every week, Dr Patrick Savage asks a guest who speaks one of those languages to share six songs from their own culture: old and new; happy and sad; music that makes you want to dance and want to sing. He also asks their thoughts on the science behind the world’s musical diversity. By understanding the diverse meanings and power of music around the world, we learn that music may not be a universal language, but it can bring us together when words fail.
