When Music Causes Harm
When 27-year-old Mexican singer Valentin Elizalde was murdered a few months ago, it was a direct result of his music.
More precisely – the lyrics in his music. Some of his songs honored one of Mexico’s most notorious drug lords, Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman, who is the leader of the Sinaloa cartel.
Believe it or not, there is actually a name for these drug songs - narcocorridos – ballads honoring the exploits of drug dealers.
Elizalde was leaving an open-air festival in Reynosa, Mexico when bullets were fired at his van, killing him, his manager and driver, only minutes after he had performed at a local fair.
What did he sing about that day? Los Zetas, a mercenary force employed by Mexican drug cartels.
This popular singer recorded several albums for Universal Music and often toured the U.S. So he was no slouch. Just a few weeks before his death, he received the 'soloist of the year' prize at Los Premios de la Radio Awards in Hollywood, California.
But, eventually, anything you send out will eventually come back to you. Whether it will haunt you or to uplift you is totally up to You. This is a universal law.
When music is used to glorify drugs or violence, it does harm. There is no doubt about this. Because adding melody, harmony and rhythm to any words makes them much more powerful. Your mind assimilates words effortlessly when they are set to music.
Just turn on your television. And watch, or rather, listen to the commercials. Music is always present to ‘help’ you get it.
The music you choose to listen to will directly affect your mental and emotional health. It’s why, one of the best things you can do to bring happiness into your life, is to choose Only the most nutritious serving of relaxing and rejuvenating sounds. Start relaxing today to The Secret Power of Words and Music CDs.
