‘World Music’ can be defined as one that is indigenous to the culture and region on which it originated. While the term was originally coined to describe only ethno-specific music, the advent of globalization has gradually expanded its scope to include a variety of sub genres such as World Beat, World fusion, Ethnic fusion and Global fusion. These also happen to be sub genres of pop music, thus making it obvious that World music can also be classified under other genres.
This genre of music originated in parts of Chile, Columbia, Argentina and other South American nations. It was revived and popularized by the 1970s Nueva Cancion movement.
‘Pop Latino’ (as the Spaniards, Italians and Portuguese call it) or Pop Latine (as the French call it) can be identified by its trademark Latin instrumentation and rhythms that are incorporated into the tracks. In geographical terms, Latin pop has a strong Latin American influence and is also sung by a number of Latin American singers. This genre of music is mostly sung in Spanish, Italian, French or Portuguese, though English is becoming more common these days.
The Caribbean has given birth to a variety of musical genres and sub genres that include calypso, reggae and salsa. The region consists of a chain of islands ranging from Trinidad and Tobago in the south to the Bahamas in the north. A large chunk of the population descended from West African slaves and other settlers from India, China and Europe. While each Caribbean island has its own unique style of music, most feature strong European and African influences in their music.
This is a highly flexible term that is used to describe everything from the homegrown Afro hip hop that is all the rage today to the South African jazz that marked most of the 1950s and the 1060s. There are a few Afro pop genres that are marked for their long lasting popularity and for the impact they have had on popular culture. The Africa of the 1950s experienced international rumba craze and a number of bands from Senegal to the Congo adapted the Afro-Cuban style to suit local musical tastes.
The Congo was the birthplace of the soukous – a sound produced from a guitar – that took Africa by storm in the 1970s. The 1970s and 1980s saw the dramatic popularity of Jamaican reggae, with its inspirational message pan-African brotherhood, partly owing its popularity to Bob Marley’s 1980 concert held in Harare. Since then, a large number of rap MCs have come up in the hot hip hop scene of South Africa, Senegal and Tanzania.
This is an interesting holiday phenomenon that has become extremely popular in recent years. This genre features popular music such as Christmas carols and Halloween soundtracks. This kind of music has a wintry feel to it and evokes childhood memories of drinking hot chocolate late at night, and watching the softly falling snow cover the roofs and sidewalks. Most of us get nostalgic when we listen to Frosty the Snowman or Jingle Bells and a lot of holiday music tracks are guaranteed to bring on the goosebumps. Religious holiday music is slightly different, in that it features popular religious figures and is primarily composed for religious ceremonies and purposes.
