Description

World Music: A Very Short Introduction explores the diverse sounds and cultural practices that make up global music. This new edition considers how technology is changing the way we experience and create world music, as well as the impact of globalization and nationalism on its production and consumption. The concept of world music encompasses a wide range of genres, from folk to popular music, as well as sacred voices and local sounds. As the internet and digital technologies continue to shape the music industry, this book examines how these changes are affecting the way we think about musicians and their roles in shaping cultural identity. With its accessible approach and expert analysis, World Music: A Very Short Introduction is a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand the complex and dynamic world of global music.
