Knowing that society is not a mere sum of individuals but the result of interacting individuals, and individuals are also the result of this interaction, this article draws from the idea that this interaction, that construct us as individuals, happens also through music. The importance that music has in the process of making up a society is clearly brought to light in the role that it plays in the three basic parameters of the social logics: identity, social order and the need for exchange. But it is not only that we as individuals would be incomprehensible without the constant exchange with other people. Without many of the things that surround us, we ontologically could not be. And in this regard, music, as technology, can be also conceived as a real extension of our body (McLuhan).
