Comparison 'as........as'

Language, being a strong tribal identity by nature, renders music also very tribal. One might argue that peoples’ language changes from culture to culture, and often, from one country to another. As peoples’ languages change, invariably their music also changes with it. This is why both music and language become a much stronger tribal identity compared to dancing or other arts. Thus, well-performed dancing from any culture is equally as pleasing to most audiences regardless of culture. However, people grow more keen on the sort of music they most naturally enjoy. Those who develop a more sophisticated understanding of music and enjoy a much wider variety of music might be an exception to this rule. Having said that, however, of all arts, most people are more intensely affected by their music than any other.

Q. What is 'as' used for ? I think it is used for comparison 'as.........as', but there is only one 'as'

I'd like to transform the sentence into the one using 'as.......as'. Is this possible?
