week 4: What is world music and why does it exist?

Fusing together traditional music and modern music forms world music. For example African music fused with English language. I feel in a sense that it is a good thing to fuse music together as it allows people to listen to different types of culture music such as reggae, soca, and African music. World music attracts different nationalities, in order to do so it makes me think would the song necessarily have to be in English for people to like it. In our seminar class we listened to some well-known songs, but they were sang in a different language. When hearing the song it didn’t matter to me that it was in a different language I still enjoyed the song, but it would mean more to the people who understand that particular language, which would be local music. World music exist as our country is becoming more of a multicultural society, is trying to cater for everyone, whether your black, white or Asian. Which enables other people from other counties to listen to different culture music to give everyone a sense of belonging.
