World Music refers to both “roots” music of any culture that is created and performed by the indigenous peoples of the region. It can also refer to other non-western music including popular music and classical music. It is basically all foreign music and the term became popular in the 1980s. Some examples include tunes from the Middle East, Africa, and Central and South America.
The most popular genres these days seem to be French Pop Music, Afro-Cuban music although there are also plenty of other regions that continue to release great sounds and that are eagerly bought up by music fanatics. Be sure to educate yourself globally. Get a pair of World Music tickets and attend the next concert that is in your town.
