Wherever I travel I am always particularly interested in two things: food and music. Well, unfortunately I didn’t have an occasion to taste typical Maltese food yet but of course I’ll do it before my departure. Regarding the music… it’s more difficult because of so different kinds of music that I hear in some of the local contexts. At first, I should notice: there is a very popular melody that I hear every day and everywhere on the street, in the shops, from the cars and on the radio. My friends and I call it a “popular Maltese summer hymn”. It’s a sort of dance music with modern rhythms and a very recognizable melody. Secondly, once I heard instrumental music playing near the restaurant of typical Maltese food. I didn’t know some string instruments similar to guitar. It was a very nice and calm music. My third experience of Maltese music was the concert of young singers on TV. I don’t know if one can call this type of music typical Maltese. It was a European standard popular music in Maltese language but it was not interesting and particular for foreigner tourists.
