We cannot deny the fact that music plays an integral part in our daily lives. Although there is a variety of music genres and the popularity of international music overseas, I believe that traditional music is more important.
We cannot imagine lives without music. There are various reasons which account for why we need music. Firstly, music helps us relax after a busy day. Listening to an upbeat song or strumming on a guitar can cheer up our moods. Songs entertain life and can convey feelings or meanings which are unspeakable or can not be delivered solely by words. Each song has its own story so people listening to it can understand and share the same feelings with the composers.  Or people just listen to music simply for entertainment, while playing games, sports, or even sleeping. Music can be played in different situations. For example,  I always turn on classical songs and listen to them with my headphones to cover the background noises from the streets so that it is easier for me to focus on my studies. Besides that, people can be more creative by composing their pieces of music themselves to tell their stories. Furthermore, music connects people with the same taste of music all over the globe. 
No matter how popular and common international music is beyond the border, traditional music is the most important music in each country’s culture. International music, especially English songs, having catchy tunes which appeal to a majority of people. However, they are just the commercial tool for celebrities to earn money while traditional music is a national identity or symbol that differentiates each country from others.  We cannot stop anyone from enjoying their favorite songs though we should make them realize how crucial their countries’ music is. That is the reason why most countries want to preserve and develop this type of music.  
In conclusion, music makes our life colorful and meaningful in many ways and I reckon that traditional music is more important than the international one.
