Liechtenstein Post has designed and prepared for issuing a bright set of 8 stamps featuring colourful illustrations on various fun-loving motifs created by Luigi Olivadoti. The stamps are dedicated to the most popular styles of music for dancing like “Jazz”, “Flamenco”, “Folk Music”, “Country”, “Samba” and “Classic”. The stamps also show the most recent dance and music styles of this series, the music genres electro and hip hop that emerged in the 1980s.
The relation between dance and music is undeniable. These two art forms have been estimated to have co-existed far before the existence of civilization. Music and dance always complement each other and one cannot even think of music and dance as two separate entities, or even two sides of the same coin. Their relationship is even much closer. Music and dance have always been closely related, in some cultures so closely that only one term is used to denote both together. This becomes particularly apparent when music and dance have a ritual meaning and, for instance, certain instruments and dance movements symbolise gods.
