World music

Non-Western traditional music

World music is an English phrase for styles of music from primarily non-English-speaking countries, including quasi-traditional, intercultural, and traditional music. World music's broad nature and elasticity as a musical category pose obstacles to a universal definition, but its ethic of interest in the culturally exotic is encapsulated in Roots magazine's description of the genre as "local music from out there". There are several conflicting definitions for world music.
