Can someone explain to me *why* we can perceive emotion in music? It's all kind of magical to me how music really is a universal language. (Erm, it is, right?) We can all recognise a happy tune, a tense tune, an aggressive one, and perhaps a contemplative or serene tune.

Why is that?

@JordiGH *western* music is one type of music, it's not universal.
You'd probably be pretty confused listening to folk music from india for example
