Music is the Key
The idea is as simple as it is old. Before the age of writing,ancient historical events were recorded in verse and song form foreasy memorisation. In his book 'Songlines', Bruce Chatwin describeshow the Australian Aborigines were able to navigate their wayacross hundreds of miles of desert to their ancestral huntinggrounds without maps. And how? The extensive lyrics of theirtraditional songs were exact descriptions of the routes!
Rhythm and words i.e. song and verse have always been a verypowerful memory aid, and this is supported by recent scientificresearch. The advertising industry knows only too well how powerfulmusic can be in getting the message across with brainwashing-likejingles and soundbites.
