In this way, the music made in accordance with the culture of the society which reflects the cultural structure in every society becomes the common property of the music culture. This cultural music form is called folk music. Public administrators have always benefited from music so as to manage people with ease. Similarly, the managed have always used music as a tool to place their negative or positive requests to administrators.
