Impact of Wars on Music and Music Broadcasting

The Russia-Ukraine Experience

Resumen

This article examines the effects of wars on music and music broadcasting, particularly the Russia-Ukraine war. The research is qualitative and literature-based. It has been revealed that music is a powerful tool for social action and propaganda in times of war but can also inflame ill-will, as in the case of the Russia-Ukraine war. The article has also established key connections between research on music and radio and online music transmission in wartime periods. It concluded that music and music broadcasting will continue to influence people despite the negative impact of conflicts and should be encouraged by nations during and in the absence of wars. Therefore, case studies by experts in multimedia and music studies are needed to further examine the significant events and issues in music and music broadcasting in war-torn countries.
