Before we had words, we had rhythm. Before we had nations, we had melody. In this installment of The Human Odyssey, we journey back to the very dawn of humanity to uncover the electrifying story of music. Join us as we track its evolution from a primal pulse echoing in a cave to the grand symphonies that filled royal courts, from the soulful cries of the blues to the digital beats that move millions. This isn't just a history of notes and scales; it's the story of us. It's an epic tale of innovation, rebellion, and the unrelenting human need to give sound to feeling. It’s the story of how a simple vibration in the air became the soundtrack to our entire existence.
