What began as a music festival (Fête de la Musique) in 1982 in France has evolved into World Music Day, which is celebrated every year on June 21. This day honours both aspiring and seasoned musicians, emphasising the concept of equal opportunity in the field of music. Every musician is encouraged to share his or her achievements with the rest of the world on this day.
