Entertainers in Calabar, the Cross River State capital, on Tuesday joined music lovers across the world to celebrate the 2022 edition of the world music day.
Celebrated annually since 1982, the day seeks to recognize the impact of music on human lives. And, musical artistes, dancers, producers as well as other actors in the industry participated in activities to share the message that music is the language of the soul and should not be debased, devalued or considered insignificant in any society.
