Music can affect our emtions. Music helps keep your cardiovascular system in tune. Listening or performing music can have an affect on your heartbeat, either speeding it up if there’s a higher bpm on the track, or slowing it down when you hear more relaxing beats.

It appears that, even if one cannot completely understand or appreciate a certain culture’s music, very few people would mistake fast, rhythmic music as “sad”, or lullabies as dance music. This has been further supported by other experiments that depict how the brain reacts when listening to different types of music. So even though the Mafa tribe in Africa had never listened to western music, they can, like most people, differentiate between the different emotions expressed.
