Abstract

The nebulous category of world music has been defined as "simply not our music, it is their music (Rahkonen, 1)." world music is thus a distinction based on otherness and not any singularly defining characteristic. It is a term that developed from the classification of popular music "to include all styles of music with ethnic or foreign elements (Rahkonen, 6)," defined in opposition to the western idiom. With respect to popular music today, world music is often a syncretism of ethnic elements with popular western styles that creates genres such as bhangra-fusion (disco and Punjabi bhangra), reggae (from ska, mento, and R&B), and afro-beat (Yoruba drums, soul singing, jazz).
