World music is, most generally, all the music in the world (Bohlman 2002, Nidel 2004, p.3), but is more specifically all music genres that are not part of mainstream popular music or classical music from North America or Western Europe, and has some kind of "ethnic" component. The word connotes traditional or folk music from the third world, European popular and folk music with influences from the third world, and traditional music especially (but not only) from the third world. The term is used primarily as a marketing/classificatory ...

World music as a cultural-economic phenomenon is inextricably linked with the invention of sound recording and the development of the international recording industry, but the background to its emergence covers the whole span of modern Western musical history. Since at least the Renaissance, musicians, composers, music publishers (and, in the 20th century, radio stations and recording companies) have been part of a wide-ranging and continuous process of cultural appropriation that developed in the wake of the European colonisation of ...

At the outset of the 1987 meeting, the musician Roger Armstrong advised why something needed to be done; "(He) felt that the main problem in selling our kind of material lay with the U.K. retail outlets and specifically the fact that they did not know how to rack it coherently. This discouraged them from stocking the material in any depth and made it more difficult for the record buyers to become acquainted with our catalogues." The first concern of the meetings was to select the umbrella name that this 'new' music would be listed und ...

In 1968 Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones recorded the Master Musicians of Joujouka in the village of Joujouka in northern Morocco. Jones died the following year but the LP was released in 1971 on Rolling Stones Records. Although there was some criticism of the electronic treaments Jones applied to the recordings in post-production, the LP was one of the first recordings released in the pop market that showcased traditional Arabic music. Another important landmark in the growth of the world music genre, and one which is ofte ...

The origins of the term World Music in relation to the selling of this type of music began in 1982 when World Music Day (Fête de la Musique) was initiated in France. World Music Day is celebrated on the 21st of June every year since then. On Monday 29th June 1987 a meeting of interested parties gathered to capitalise on the marketing of this genre. Arguably popular interest was sparked with the release in 1986 of Paul Simon's Graceland album. The concept behind the album was to express his own sensibilities using the sounds which he ...

Pop musicians first began to move outside the Western tradition in the mid-Sixties, when they started mixing Western electric pop with influences taken from the traditional music of India. Although the results were sometimes risible, this proved to be the most influential fusion of pop and "folk" music of the entire period, specifically because it was the first significant attempt to mix Western popular music with a completely non-Western musical tradition. Although they were by no means the only people at that time who were following ...

Beginning around the turn of the 20th century, the invention of sound recording and motion pictures enabled American mass-entertainment culture began to develop into a major global economic and cultural force. Simultaneous with this process, two emerging streams of non-Western music -- African-American music and Latin music -- were "discovered" by American and European audiences, and they were rapidly appropriated by the mainstream music industry. Over the next hundred years these two broad genres were to have a massive transforative effect on the structure of popular music ...

Such labels were typically small "boutique" operations or minor specialist imprints of large companies, which released albums of non-West ...
