“World” (or “World Music”) is a controversial classification often used in music marketing to easily discriminate different music from the anglophone genres (and even traditional anglophone Folk genres from more popular styles such as Rock, Pop, Jazz and Electronic music).

A lot of people are discrediting the tag 'World Music' but I don't think it is such a bad idea! I have recently started a digital World Music & Culture Magazine. TETO (To Each Their Own) Music aims to go beyond the standard concepts of music magazines by getting rid of the usual labels associated to music and its genre. This will be accomplished by splitting the articles by continent and having artists categorised geographically rather than by genre in order to highlight the cultural context of the music in question. Check out the links below to have a read about some of the pioneers associated to countries around the World. www.tetomusic.co.uk

Well, at least this is a good way to find new artists that you can then listen to more of their work on Grooveshark.com. And mixes on Mixcloud.com.
