Presentation

World music has become an essential ingredient in many music festivals and concert seasons. Although this type of music usually has a rural origin, it has become, over time and with the development of technological means of music making, very popular in the western world - leading to all kinds of hybrid genres and melodious mixes.
We shall attempt here to draw up an overview of the most popular varietie of this kind of music and look for parallels and similarities between them: use of rhythm, vocal techniques, use of traditional instruments etc.
