The study does not aim at statistical evaluation of the frequency of musical representation in mass media. Its goal is to capture in qualitative terms the important phenomena in this sphere of contemporary culture. They include links between culture and the market, mass character of the arts, musical fetishism, dual character of manifest and latent functions of music in the media and the new conditions for creativity and production. Although music is often presented in the media in a discrediting way, we believe that in many other cases music will defend and preserve its artistic independence. Mass media lead modern people to tolerance: media guide him to be open to everything what arouses interest, what broadens musical horizons and musical experience. The studied social phenomena like age, sex, and especially education, upbringing and social background, point to a common problem: the capacity of a listener to select or to regulate musical consumption.

In traditional African communities we encounter a somewhat different perception of music from that found in the societies of the West. Firstly, it is perceived mainly in social and not aesthetic terms; secondly, interaction and communication which take place through music are of primary significance. Music fulfils functions which in other kinds of communities are entrusted to a variety of institutions: it supports group identification, transmits basic values, consolidates the group structure, and has a socialising function. The element which makes these processes possible is polyrhythm. However, this is not the only factor at the source of these musical stylistics. Another one is the oral character of African cultures. In essence, they perceive the word as a sound, and not a sign, and as a result speech is perceived not only as a means of transmitting information, but also as something which has an effect on the listener. Among the features of orality one can count the use of repetition, concentration on physical and social dimension, use of formulae in the thinking process, dominance of creativity over re-creation, emphasis on situational context, contrast, traditionalism, preference for concrete over abstract, expressiveness and emotionality. These factors are of key importance in shaping awareness, and influence the teaching, creation and performance of music.
