Introduction

     About the role of literature and the importance of music, the agrees of many writers are not the same. If we consider literature and music as the arts, we can say with Guy De Maupassant that “art is a very good lie”. We understand with Guy that the principal aim of art is not to tell truth, is not to search to result social problems; but is to hide and mask the truth social evil. This point of view is contradictory with the one of Albert Camus in discours de suède who thinks that art in general; literature and music in particular are the very arm against social scourge. In this context, that’s not surprising to understand him assert that “the role of writer, at the same time is inseparable of difficult obligation”. Of this contradiction, springs the problem of importance of literature and that one of role of music. To that end, how literature and music are so useful in the society?

                                            Role of literature

                                           1 – To express feeling

     Generally, when we talk about role of literature, it is firstly in the intention to make reference at the trend to express feeling. The idea according to which by the link of literature, the writers have occasion to express theirs feeling make proof of the capital role of literature. Sure enough, in this condition, it is possible to say that the writers use the average of literature to present theirs thoughts to someone. These thoughts can be asking excuse, it can be expressing one love; it can be the occasion to remember some event with another person. At the topic of remember, we can illustrate it in Balafon with the three letters of Engelbert Mveng at his friends KONG-FU-TSEU, ROLAND-ROGER, and MOTECZUMA; and also his poem you will ‘recome Senegal’ where he remember the stay of Senegal community in Cameroon.

                               2 – To fight against social evil

     Secondly, the literature has this capacity to be an arm for social using. The strength of this arm is the words, the pen and the ink of writer, above all of them; we may situate his intellect which has the faculty of reflection about the preoccupation of society. In that respect, the writers use his intellect that has his source in society to fight against evil which gangrene that society. His method is denunciation by the link of literary writing. That’s so important to remember that, the writer has this possibility to suggest solution about certain tare; but his first work is denunciation. It’s in the same context than André Brink in one season dry and white spread out at the eyes of any body the functioning of segregation system which take place in South Africa. Camus Albert thinks that in the same line does make size of writing work is the promotion of truth and that one of liberty.

                                  Importance of music

        1 - Entertainment objects and trigger

     Right away, it is incontestable that when we are in front music it’s no only for understand lessons which can pull, but also for entertainment and trigger; even if they are not separable. We can not leave out that fact that music has also the faculty of expression of feeling. The insistence here is making on his capacity to calm down the spirits tired; that’s does make the importance of music. The first impression when we understand music is in report the junction of sound, this junction has his reason to be because it like to the persons otherwise, it will not until useful. The proof is that music makes dancing and remembering it depends of style of music. Other proof; it’s difficult to resist to sing when we listening certain music; in particular show music. 

2 – Famous middle of denunciation

     Likewise, the music has this function of denunciation like literature; except that she uses another method and mode. Between literature and music, the famous middle of denunciation is music because many persons in the world don’t like read. Many of them are analphabet. With this predisposition, it is clear that the capital importance of music lives in the fact that he is vocal and do not ask more effort to understand by opposite to literature which ask reading and comprehension. We don’t forget the fact that we have certain music in other tongue. The precision here is making on the music that we understand; even if music has codes and others signals which are not perceived by every body.  So that, the denunciation of social evil is more effective with music than literature. As, by way of justification, we can only understand the first music of Longue Longue where the denunciation of colonialicism and his effects were very effective.   

                                                     Conclusion

     At the end of our work, we call back the problem which was that one of role of literature and importance of music. The first time we presented the role of literature which lives in the expression of feeling and fighting social evil. In the second time, we analyzed importance of music which finds his justification in entertainment, trigger and denunciation.
