World Music Knowledge Base
world music...? Why do so many people seem to find music that is outside of their comfort zone "weird". I used to be into mainstream music, however as i got older I realized that mainstream music just was dull and uninteresting, if it was made after a certain point (early to mid-nineties, with very few exceptions). That is when I decided to look outside what we hear everyday. I deiscovered a whole treasure in world music! Ayub Ogada, Goeffrey Oryema, Huun Huur Tu, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, I could go on and on! when I try and play any of this for my wife , she looks at me funny and tells me I'm weird. If any of you are tired of what you hear on the radio or on television, go looking... you'll find some of the best music you've never heard.

Articles Relating to Current Events in World and Classical Music? Hi. I'm doing an extra credit project for my college music class and it requires that I find current events (no longer than a month old) relating to World Music as well as Classical Music. I've been looking and haven't found very much (a lot of outdated news). If anyone could point me toward a credible source or interesting articles, I'd very much appreciate it.
Did Anyone Else See The World Music Awards about Shakira Stewart? It was the World Music Awards that aired tonight, 12/29, on the "My Network TV" Channel, and Mariah Carey most certainly did mention that L.A. Reid couldn't accept his award tonight because he was paying his last respects at the passing of "Shakira Stewart". I wasn't sure what Shakira's last name is, so I logged on just now to see if the story were true. Still trying to validate.
How did Michael Jackson change the music world most? Think about it. He defined a new style of music (POP), made radio stations hot, revolutionized the music video world and reacquainted blacks to rock and whites to soul. Actually, I think he was one of the first black singers to cross racial lines and duo a song with a white singer, Paul McCartney. What ways do you think he changed the music world?
Is it me or did they boo Nick Cannon on the World Music Awards? Happy Holidays I am watching the 2008 World Music Awards and Mariah Carey has a received an award for something. Which isnt a suprise.

France 2007 Rugby World Cup - What music was played in the Stadiums as the teams walked out? There was some fantastic emotional orchestral music played as the teams walked out for each world cup game in France I think it might be some version of World in Union but it's not obviously related. Does any one know? Also , the trumpet tune played before each kick off any during the game is often played at French games both fotball and rugby and I would be interested if this had a name? - I'd love it as a mobile phone text ring tone!! Thank you for any help.

Would you survive in a world without music? No music. None. No radios, no ipods, no records, no cds, not even your own instruments. Nada. Imagine a world...just quiet. Your favorite artists are just regular people since music isn't in existence and instruments were yet to be invented. Would you survive? I know i wouldn't! lol.
What are some terms that are used incorrectly in the music world? The ones that most stand out to me are: "Classic rock" - It's a radio format, not a genre. "Old school rap" - It's a time period of rap that ended around '84. A lot of people seem to think it means any pre 21st century rap. "Techno" - It's a subgenre in itself, not a blanket term for all electronic music.

Which country has the best traditional music in the World? I am planning a trip around the world and I want to experience the local music of a lot of different countries/places.

What computers can I leave unattended being broadcasted round the world just playing music? When I say unattended I mean left in a studio. This is for a worldwide established radio station. There will be no one in front of the computer in case anything did go wrong. When I say playing music it will be off an iTunes playlist. The playlist could be up to 200 hours long. I need it to be left unattended for a maximum of 72 hours. Just playing music. It will be broadcast all around the world. Lots of people will listen. Also it can't freeze or crash. It can't get overheated in other words: Left on 24/7 just playing music off iTunes. Thousands of people will be listening. There is NO way it can crash or get overheated.
Who are some composers who bridge the Classical and Popular music world? The obvious example of this would be George Gershwin, but I was trying to think of some other examples, such as: Leonard Bernstein - if you include "Broadway musicals" in the "Pop" category Frank Zappa - composed several avant-garde orchestral works, like those on the "Perfect Stranger" and "LSO, Vol. 1 & 2" Joe Jackson - educated at the Royal Academy of Music, and released 2 albums of instrumental compositions ("Will Power" and "Symphony #1"), thought to call those works "classical" is a stretch. Anyone else you can come up with?

Do u think music can still change the world? As a child of the 80s and a music lover, I can't help but wonder, can music still changed the world? Music and culture use to go hand in hand, we had the hippies in the 60s, then the punks, just to name a few. But what do we have now that will change the world? Bands like Rage Against the Machine or even Coldplay pushed movements and others political cause, but that doesn't really 'grow' into a movement. So is it about the music, or is it about our cultural atmosphere?
