It is therapeutic and as powerful as any medicinal therapy. This has been expressed in religion over the decades. Worshippers through song and dance seek divine intervention and spiritual purity, attesting to the fact that music is capable of healing and transforming minds and beliefs.\u201d<br \/>\nMajuba said
