However, it is one of the few types of songs that will express the feelings of the artist. Thus, many people prefer to listen to jazz music to associate themselves with people who have gone through many challenges in life. This can be seen from its origin which is from the black community in the country. It was innovated during a time when the community was being oppressed and racism was a very common thing. It is an association of both African beats and European styles.

Some people say Jazz is dying, however, it is evolving to other genres. For instance the classics, rap, rock and hip hop. Many lovers of the classics want to listen to the old classics since it is still very popular in many parts of the country and worldwide.
