It is time to appreciate these cities for their notes and rhythms

There is so much to the world of music than what meets the ear of a connoisseur. From every corner, street and ally come a sound unique to its origin. Such is the power of music, which knows no boundary or region. From every corner of the world emerges sounds and music that is different and an identity. In an effort to preserve and encourage the diverse range of music, UNESCO started a project called the UNESCO Coty of Music to recognise music across the world. Under this, it takes cities and countries that produce and are huge supporters and promoters of music. Among the 47 countries, here is your list of Cities of Music that music connoisseurs should visit.
