June 21st was the first international day of yoga, but not only. The same day also celebrates the music festival, an event that is renewed every year since 1982.
Do you know him?
How did the music festival come about?
The idea of a day entirely dedicated to music came to the mind of the French cousins. The first edition, in fact, was celebrated in France in 1982 by the then Minister of culture Jack Lang. The success achieved meant that the party expanded and infected with its energy many other European countries, including Italy .
The involvement and the adhesion of so many cities in so many nations has even required the establishment of a coordinating body which, in this case, responds to the name of Association pour le Développement de la Création, Études et Projets which, among the its various tasks, it has precisely that of dealing with this festival at European level.

In the national context, each country manages itself according to local traditions and needs: in Italy there is the Italian Association for the Promotion of the Music Festival (AIPFM) whose purpose is the coordination of the various events on Italian soil.

How is the music festival celebrated?
Beyond the committees and bodies, what is this event? Well, this party wants to be a celebration of music at 360 ° not only by professionals, but is also open to enthusiasts . A very interesting aspect that sets it apart is precisely democracy: whether you are a musician or an amateur, it doesn't matter, everyone can contribute!
Thus, exhibitions or concerts are organized spontaneously or through schools, associations and clubs aimed solely at enjoying music . Whether they are halls, squares, theaters no matter the frame, every place is welcome, even if it is unusual. No constraints even from a stylistic point of view: all the music of all genres and traditions are worthy of being honored and find space to express themselves and an auditorium available to welcome them.
The autochthonous and popular character makes this event truly genuine: it is not a specific festival, nor the apology of this or that artist. It is a hymn to what is the Goddess Music, a deity that can be loved by adults, children, professionals or just amateurs. It is an opportunity to reconsider music as a social aggregator and source of entertainment; an opportunity for totally free expression, creativity and experimentation.
