What is world music

World music is simply a category of music that embodies a diverse range of music from around the world, not formally popular or familiarised in the UK and the America. World music has characteristics and features that distinguishes itself as a genre from others through its ethnic style and the rhythm. World music takes up traditional music of any culture due to the fact that the world has so much diverse taste in music and a wide culture to present from and simply means that ‘world music’ is not global. World music however allows people to express themselves in a way that they cannot do in other genres in terms of creativity.
