World musicFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

World music is a musical category encompassing manydifferent styles of music from around the world, includingtraditional music, neotraditional music, and music wheremore than one cultural tradition intermingle. World music'sinclusive nature and elasticity as a musical category poseobstacles to a universal definition, but its ethic of interestin the culturally exotic is encapsulated in fRootsmagazine's description of the genre as "local music fromout there".[1] The ter m originated in the late 20th centuryas a marketing category and academic classification for non-Western traditional music. Globalization hasfacilitated the expansion of world music's audiences andscope. It has grown to include hybrid sub-genres such as

world fusion, global fusion, ethnic fusion[2] andworldbeat.[3][4]

The term has been credited to ethnomusicologist Robert E. Brown, who coined it in the early 1960s atWesleyan University in Connecticut, where he developed undergraduate through the doctoral programs in thdiscipline. To enhance the process of learning, he invited more than a dozen visiting performers from Africa Asia and began a world music concert series.[5][6] The term became current in the 1980s as amarketing/classificatory device in the media and the music industry, and it is often used to classify any kind onon-Western music.[citation needed ]

There are several conflicting definitions for world music. One is that it consists of "all the music in the world"though such a broad definition renders the word virtually meaningless.[7][8] The term also is taken as aclassification of music that combines Western popular music styles with one of many genres of non-Westernmusic that are also described as folk music or ethnic music. However, world music is not exclusively traditiofolk music. It may include cutting edge pop music styles as well. Succinctly, it can be described as "local mufrom out there",[9] or "someone else's local music".[10] It is a very nebulous term with an increasing number of genres that fall under the umbrella of world music to capture musical trends of combined ethnic style and texincluding Western elements (examples noted in this section).

World music may incorporate distinctive non-Western scales, modes and/or musical inflections, and often

features distinctive traditional ethnic instruments, such as the kora (West African harp), the steel drum, the sor the didgeridoo.[11]

Music from around the world exerts wide cross-cultural influence as styles naturally influence one another, arecent years world music has also been marketed as a successful genre in itself. Academic study of world mas well as the musical genres and individual artists with which it has been associated, can be found in suchdisciplines as anthropology, folkloristics, performance studies and ethnomusicology.

Evolving terminology

In the age of digital music production the increased availability of high-quality, ethnic music samples, sound band loops from every known region are commonly used in commercial music production, which has exposevast spectrum of indigenous music texture to developing, independent artists. These influences proliferate quin a web-based music industry that is now percolating as a much larger, predominantly self-promoted menuan increasing number of indie-artist-friendly, streaming internet options, such as Last.fm, Rhapsody, Live36Jango Artist Airplay and ReverbNation. An amalgamation of roots music in the global, contemporary listenin palette has become apparent, which weakens the role major entertainment labels can play in the cultural perception of genre boundaries. As a result, definitions of the genre have become particularly varied, anddetermined by particularly wide-ranging and varied opinions.

Similar terminology between distinctly different sub-categories under primary music genres, such as world, and pop can be as ambiguous and confusing to industry moguls as it is to consumers. This is especially true the context of world music, where branches of ethnically influenced pop trends are as genre-defined byconsumer perception as they are by the music industry forums that govern the basis for categorical distinctioAcademic scholars tend to agree that, in today's world of consumer music reviews and blogging, global musculture's public perception is what ultimately distils a prevailing basis for definition from genre ambiguity,regardless of how clearly a category has been outlined by corporate marketing forums and music journalismThe world music genre's gradual migration from a clear spectrum of roots music traditions to an extended lishybrid sub-genres is a good example of the motion genre boundaries can exhibit in a globalizing pop culture

classic, original definition of world music was in part created to instill a perceived authenticity and distinction between indigenous music traditions and those that eventually become diluted by pop culture, and the modedebate over how possible it is to maintain that perception in the richly diverse genre of world music isongoing.[12][13]

Omer Ihsas & Peace Messengers

In a report on the 2014 globalFEST National Public Radio's Anastasia Tsioulcas said "Even within the "worldmusic" community, nobody likes the term "world music." It smacks of all kinds of loaded issues, from culturcolonialism to questions about what's "authentic" and what isn't (and who might get to police such inquiries),forces an incredible array of styles that don't have anything in common under the label of "exotic Other." Whmore: I believe that in many people's imaginations, "world music" means a kind of fairly awful, gloppy, hippyworldbeat fusion. It's a problematic, horrible term that satisfies absolutely no one."[14]

ExamplesExamples of popular forms of world music include the various formsof non-European classical music (e.g. Japanese koto music, Indianraga music, Tibetan chants), Eastern European folk music (e.g. thevillage music of the Balkans), Nordic folk music and the many formsof folk and tribal music of the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Oceania andCentral and South America. The Breton musician Alan Stivell pioneered the connection between traditional folk music, modern rock music and world music with his 1970's album Renaissance of theCeltic Harp .[15]

The broad category of world music includes isolated forms of ethnicmusic from diverse geographical regions. These dissimilar strains of ethnic music are commonly categorized together by virtue of their indigenous roots. Over the 20th century, tinvention of sound recording, low-cost international air travel and common access to global communicationamong artists and the general public has given rise to a related phenomenon called "crossover" music. Musicfrom diverse cultures and locations could readily access recorded music from around the world, see and hevisiting musicians from other cultures and visit other countries to play their own music, creating a melting po

stylistic influences.While communication technology allows greater access to obscure forms of music, the pressures of commercialization also present the risk of increasing musical homogeneity, the blurring of regional identities,the gradual extinction of traditional local music-making practices.

Hybrid examples

Since the music industry established this term, the fuller scope of what an average music consumer defines a"world" music in today's market has grown to include various blends of ethnic music tradition, style andinterpretation,[4] and derivative world music genres have been coined to represent these hybrids, such as Wofusion, Global fusion, Ethnic fusion or Worldbeat. Good examples of hybrid, world fusion are the Irish / WeAfrican meld of Afro Celt Sound System,[16] the pan-cultural sound of Aomusic[17] and the jazz / Finnish folk music of Vrttin,[18] each of which bare tinges of contemporary, Western influencean increasingly noticeabelement in the expansion genres of world music. World fusion / Worldbeat / Ethnic fusion / Global fusion canalso blend specific indigenous sounds with more blatant elements of Western pop. Good examples are PaulSimon's Graceland album, on which South African Mbaqanga music is heard, Peter Gabriel's work withPakistani Sufi singer, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and the Deep Forest project, in which vocal loops from WestAfrica are blended with Western, contemporary rhythmic textures and harmony structure. More recent ban

who exhibit experimentation with World music Hybrid Forms include Vampire Weekend, The Very Best, IslCassettes & Yeasayer many of which cite inspiration from the work of Paul Simon.

Depending on style and context, world music can sometimes share the New age music genre, which is acategory that often includes Ambient music and textural expressions from indigenous roots sources. Goodexamples are Tibetan bowls, Tuvan throat singing, Gregorian chant or Native American flute music. Worldmusic blended with New age music is a sound, loosely classified as the hybrid genre, ethnic fusion. Exampleethnic fusion are Nicholas Gunn's "Face-to-Face" from Beyond Grand Canyon, featuring authentic NativeAmerican flute combined with synthesizers, and "Four Worlds" fromThe Music of the Grand Canyon ,featuring spoken word from Razor Saltboy of the Navajo Indian Nation.

World fusion

The sub-genre world fusion is often, mistakenly assumed to refer exclusively to a blending of Western jazz felements with world music. Although such a hybrid expression falls easily into the world fusion category, thesuffix "fusion" in the term world fusion should not be assumed to mean only jazz fusion. Western jazz combinwith strong elements of world music is more accurately termedworld fusion jazz , ethnic jazz ornon-Westernazz .[19] World fusion and global fusion are nearly synonymous with the genre termworldbeat , and though

these are considered sub-genres of popular music, they may also imply universal expressions of the moregeneral term,world music .[4] Throughout the 1970s and 80s, fusion in the jazz music genre implied a blendingof jazz and rock music, which is where the misleading assumption is rooted.[20]

Popular non-Western genres

Although it primarily describes traditional music, the world music category also includes popular music fromnon-Western urban communities (e.g. South African "township" music) and non-European music forms thathave been influenced by other so-called third-world musics (e.g. Afro-Cuban music), although Western-styl popular song sourced from non-English-speaking countries in Western Europe (e.g. French pop music) wounot generally be considered world music.

Paris is one of the great European capitals for world music. For many years, the city has attracted numerousmusicians from former colonies in West and North Africa. This scene is aided by the fact that there are manconcerts and institutions that help promote the music.

Algerian and Moroccan music have an important presence in the French capital. Hundreds of thousands of Algerian and Moroccan immigrants have settled in Paris, bringing the sounds of Amazigh (Berber), ra, andGnawa music. Algerian ra also found a large French audience.

The West African community is also very large, integrated by people from Senegal, Mali, Cte d'Ivoire, and

Guinea. They have introduced manding jeli music, mbalax and other styles.

After 1987: WOMAD and beyond

One origin of the term was the initiation of World Music Day (Fte de la Musique) in 1982 in France. WorlMusic Day has been celebrated on 21 June every year since then. On 29 June 1987 a meeting of interested parties gathered to capitalize on the marketing of this genre. Arguably popular interest was sparked with therelease in 1986 of Paul Simon'sGraceland album. The concept behind the album was to express his ownsensibilities using the sounds he had fallen in love with while listening to artists from Southern Africa, includin

Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Savuka. This project and the work of Peter Gabriel and Johnny Clegg amoothers had, to some degree, introduced non-Western music to a wider audience. They saw this as anopportunity which should not be ignored. Zila Khan is one of today's leading singers in World Music.

Before 1987, world music had a following but it was still difficult for interested parties to sell their music to larger music stores. Although specialist music stores had been important in developing the genre over manyears, the record companies, broadcasters and journalists had been finding it difficult to build a following

because the music, itself, seemed too scarce. However, they were aware that the jazz and classical marketsdeveloped a crossover audience and decided that the best way forward would be to have a collective stratein order to bring the music to a wider audience.

At around this time, Cultural Co-operation started the Music Village Festival. A regular series of free worldmusic festivals which are running to this day. A network of world music artists was also created to help promtheir work.

1987 meeting

At the outset of the 1987 meeting, the musician Roger Armstrong advised the reason why something neede be done:

[He] felt that the main problem in selling our kind of material lay with the UK retail outlets and,

specifically, the fact that they did not know how to rack it coherently. This discouraged [the retailstores] from stocking the material in any depth and made it more difficult for the record buyers to become acquainted with our catalogs.[21]

The first concern of the meetings was to select the umbrella name that this music would be listed under.Suggestions included "world beat" and prefixing words such as "hot" or "tropical" to existing genre titles. "Wmusic" won after a show of hands, but initially it was not meant to be the title for a whole new genre, rather something which all of the record labels could place on the sleeves of records in order to distinguish them duthe forthcoming campaign. Afterward they agreed that despite the publicity campaign, this wasn't an exclusivclub and that for the good of all, any label which was selling this type of music would be able to take advant

Another issue which needed to be addressed was the distribution methods which existed at the time. Most othe main labels were unhappy with the lack of specialist knowledge displayed by sales persons which led to poor service; there was also a reluctance amongst many of the larger outlets to carry the music, because theunderstandably liked larger releases which could be promoted within store. It was difficult to justify a large presentation expense if the stock going into stores was limited.

Marketing

One of the marketing strategies used in the vinyl market at the time was the use of browser cards, which woappear in the record racks. As part of the "world music" campaign, it was decided that these would be a twcolor affair designed to carry a special offer package; to aid the retailer a selection of labels would also beincluded, presumably for shelf or rack edging.

In an unprecedented move, all of the world music labels coordinated together and developed a compilationcassette for the cover of the music magazine NME . The overall running time was 90 minutes, each packagecontaining a mini-catalog showing the other releases on offer.

By the time of a second meeting it was becoming clear that in order for the campaign to be successful, it shohave its own dedicated press officer. The press officer would be able to juggle the various deadlines and alsable to sell the music as a concept to not just the national stations, but also regional DJs who were keen toexpand the variety of music they could offer. The DJs were a key resource as it was important for "world m

to be seen as something which could be important to people outside London - most regions after all had asimilarly rich folk heritage which could be tapped into. A cost-effective way of achieving all this would be aleafleting campaign.

The next step was to develop a world music chart, gathering together selling information from around fifty shso that it would finally be possible to see which were big sellers in the genre allowing new listeners to seewhat was particularly popular. It was agreed that the NME could again be involved in printing the chart and also

usic Week and the London listings magazineCity Limits . It was also suggested that Andy Kershaw might be persuaded to do a run down of this chart on his show regularly.

Relationship to immigration and multiculturalism

Further information: Music of Canadian cultures

In most wealthy industrialized countries, large amounts of immigration from other regions has been ongoing fmany decades. This has introduced non-Western music to Western audiences not only has "exotic" imports,also as local music played by fellow citizens. Caribbean music in the United Kingdom or Chicano rock in thUnited States would be two obvious examples. But the process is ongoing and continues to produce new foIn the 2010s several musicians from immigrant communities in the West rose to global popularity, such asHaitian-American Wyclef Jean, Somali-Canadian K'naan, Tamil-Briton M.I.A., or Lebanese-ColombianShakira, often blending the music of their heritage with hip-hop or pop.

The diverse nature of major Western cities has changed the pace of musical intermixing. Once, an establisheWestern artist might collaborate with an established African artist to produce an album or two. Now, new band new genres are built from the ground up by young performers. For example the Punjabi-Irish fusion banDelhi 2 Dublin is from neither India nor Ireland, but Vancouver, Canada.

In Vancouver, musicians and composers also work collectively to create original compositions for variouscombinations of ethnic and western instruments. The JUNO nominated Orchid Ensemble(http://www.orchidensemble.com) is a trio of two Chinese instruments and the marimba (plus other percussiinstruments). It has been touring across North American since 1997. The Vancouver Inter-Cultural Orchest(http://www.vi-co.org) stages musicians and instruments from China, Taiwan, India, Iran, Africa, Vietnam,..with Canadian western orchestral players.

There is also Canada's most famous Traditional Indian Classical Musician, Cassius Khan who is an awardwinning internationally renowned as the world's only Ghazal singer who accompanies himself on the Tabla a piece hand drum indigenous to India. Khan himself has not made his views unknown on his dislike to RoberBrown's term "World Music" by publicly stating he found the term "Colonial and Oppressing" and he has behot issue in most underground meetings of the musical elites in Canada.

World Music Month

October 1987 was designated 'World Music Month'. A music festival, Crossing the Border, was held at theTown & Country Club in London, and it was the start of the winter season for both WOMAD and ArtsWorldwide . The main press release stressed the issues inherent in the campaign.

Since the early 80s the enthusiasm for music from 'outside' Western pop culture has been steadily mounting.More and more international artists, many of whom are big stars in their own countries, are coming to Englaand North America on tour. They started off, like the Bhundu Boys, playing small clubs and pubs, but nowmany acts are so popular that they are filling larger venues.

DestiNation Africa on BBC Radio 1Xtra, Adil Ray on the BBC Asian Network, Andy Kershaw's show onBBC Radio 3 and Charlie Gillett's show[22] on the BBC World Service.

Today

World music radio programs today often play African hip hop or reggae artists, crossover Bhangra and LatiAmerican jazz groups, etc. Common media for world music include public radio, webcasting, the BBC, NPand ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation). The scope of what is considered world music has increasBy default, non-region-specific or multi-cultural world music projects are often listed under the generic cateof world music.

Criticisms

The generally accepted geographic standard for what designates world music is withstanding criticism for itsuniversal asymmetry, where nearly every classifiable region under the term is defined, relative to Western muculture; this is primarily due to the fact that dominant corporate structures for music distribution and promotoriginate in Western Europe and North America, as do the forums for establishing industry genre categoriesTherefore, in market context, "ethnic" music is synthetically defined by a radius that extends from a Westerncenter.

Some musicians and curators of music have come to dislike the term "world music". To these critics, "worldmusic" is a parochial, catch-all marketing term for non-Western music of all genres. In October 1999,Luaka Bop label founder and ex-Talking Heads frontman David Byrne wrote an "I Hate World Music" editinThe New York Times [23] explaining his objections to the term. Byrne argued that the labelling andcategorization of other cultures as "exotic" serves to attract an insincere consumption and deter other potentconsumers.

Awards

Main article: Awards for world music

The BBC Radio 3 Awards for World Music was an award given to world music artists between 2002 and2008, sponsored by BBC Radio 3. The award was thought up by fRoots magazine's editor Ian Anderson,

inspired by the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. Award categories included: Africa, Asia/Pacific, Americas, EurMid East and North Africa, Newcomer, Culture Crossing, Club Global, Album of the Year, and AudienceAward. Initial lists of nominees in each category were selected annually by a panel of several thousand indusexperts. Shortlisted nominees were voted on by a twelve-member jury, which selected the winners in everycategory except for the Audience Award category. These jury members were appointed and presided over the BBC.[24] The annual awards ceremony was held at the BBC Proms and winners were given an award caa "Planet". In March 2009, the BBC made a decision to axe the BBC Radio 3 Awards for World Music.[25][26]
