Music Culture
• Laia: Music is very important for us, is our time...
• Data supplied by the IDESCAT (2003) suggests that there is a high proportion of young people between 15 and 29 years that enjoy listening to music on a regular basis, but as they get older, this goes back to being a more sporadic act
• Music sources: Downloing, CD, Radio, Concerts
