Description - World Music: A Very Short Introduction by Philip V. Bohlman

‘World music' emerged as an invention of the West from encounters with other cultures. This book draws readers into a remarkable range of these historical encounters, in which music had the power to evoke the exotic and to give voice to the voiceless. In the course of the volume's eight chapters the reader zooms in on the lives and repertoires of Bob Marley, Dana International, Bartok, and more, to discover music's growing presence and popularity at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
