Music and political wars have been used together in many political and cultural contexts to reach the intended audience to deliver a particular political message. The very nature of politics is, like music, rooted in conflict and harmony. Both music & politics seek to inspire their targets, and both have made great use of the other to advance their ideas. While we encourage you all to go out and vote for your favorite politician, we also thought it would be an excellent time to examine. As described by Paul A. Smith, political warfare is “the use of political means to force an opponent to do his will, usually through words, images, and ideas.” Music is helpful because it creates an easy and memorable note on how to deliver the message you want. Music is instrumental in propaganda. Jacques Ellul stated that for propaganda to be effective, it must “fill every day of every citizen and every day.” Since music is often regarded as a hobby, it is rarely considered threatening as some propaganda channels and as a form of entertainment. Result messages can usually be transmitted confidentially without explicit recognition. In campaigns, music may feature anti-establishment or protest themes, including anti-war songs and pro-establishment ideas, such as national anthems, patriotic songs, and politics. Many of these songs can be called the best songs.

Like music in Liberia, the nature of politics is based on conflict and harmony. The heart of music is physical and mental communication because the balance between you creates everything that is connected. Consensus is also at the heart of the political process, which seeks to find standard solutions to social problems through open communication and peace. They both deal with their confidence as they choose to embark on their play activities. As we urge you to go out and vote today, we thought it would be an excellent time to see how music and politics are intertwined.

For example, Lady Gage’s song “Born This Way” is commonly known as the international gay hymn, as it constructively discusses homosexuality and conveys the idea that it is natural. In addition, the natural disaster of Hurricane Katrina received a significant political response from the Hip hop music community. The content of the music turned out to be a reflection of the complex evolution of society, especially the black community, while also creating a sometimes-contr oversial protest over how to handle the tragedy afterward.
