These people and cultures generally do not bother with the burden of proof. Somehow, they ‘know’ they are right. This conviction is a very old one. This paper is an attempt to look at the source of music’s power to heal, the dimensions of healing, the type of music that heals, instances of healing and why this discussion is still attracting a lot of interests today.
