The Music Imbizo 2022 After Movie
The slogan “music is business to my ears” is a play on words that conveys the idea that music is not just an art form, but also a business. Here’s is the break-down of the slogan:
- “Music”: This refers to the art of creating, performing, and listening to music.
- “Business”: This refers to the commercial aspect of the music industry, including record labels, publishing companies, concert promoters, and other organizations that make money from music.
- “To my ears”: This is a common idiom that means “something that sounds good to me” or “something that I like to hear.”
