From the beat we hear while still in our mother’s stomachs, to the teenage anthems we blare out of speakers, to the songs that make and break our hearts, music is a fundamental part of being human. But why do we move to a rhythm, are we actually born to be musical, and how does music really shape who we are?

This is the first episode of The Rhythm of Life, our series exploring the power of music.

Produced & presented by Howard Timberlake
