"World music (also called global music or international music) is a Western musical category encompassing many different styles of music from other parts of the globe. It includes many forms of music that Westerners consider ethnic, indigenous music, folk music, neotraditional music, and music where more than one cultural tradition, such as non-Western music and Western popular music, intermingle." - Wikipedia
 
 
Most of my blogs and polls have had a distinctly British theme, so for the sake of diversity, here's a thread for music from around the world, starting with Yanni. Smile

One of the main inventors of world music were the German band Embryo who played world music long before the term was coined.

There is a Miles Davis quote in the info to this video: “Embryo – they are these crazy creative musicians playing really great stuff”.

^^ Dead Can Dance are one of my favourite bands and they're also one of the first bands that sprang to mind when I created this World Music thread. Smile

In the 90s especially and for some of the 00s I was very into world music.  The band that really piqued my interest was Juluka from South Africa, an interracial group that existed during the apartheid era and, to a leser extent, the follow on group Savuka.  Sadly their leader Johnny Clegg recently died of pancreatic cancer but his musical legacy will live forever

Great addition, Kenethlevine.  I loved both of those bands, still have the LP's in my collection.

I’ve recently been browsing youtube for Embryo videos such as this. There’s a lot out there! I wasn’t aware that Christian Burchard’s daughter had taken over leadership of the band, keeping the flame alive after he died. I was so glad to learn that.
