World music is a musical category encompassing many different styles of music from around the globe, which includes many genres of non-Western music including folk music, ethnic music, traditional music, indigenous music, neotraditional music, and music where more than one cultural tradition, such as when ethnic music and Western popular music intermingle. World music’s inclusive nature and elasticity as a musical category pose obstacles to a universal definition, but its ethic of interest in the culturally exotic is encapsulated in Roots magazine’s description of the genre as “local music from out there”. The term was popularized in the 1980s as a marketing category for non-Western traditional music. Globalization has facilitated the expansion of world music’s audiences and scope.[citation needed] It has grown to include hybrid subgenres such as world fusion, global fusion, ethnic fusion, and worldbeat.
World music may incorporate distinctive non-Western scales, modes, and/or musical inflections, and often features distinctive traditional ethnic instruments, such as the kora(West African harp), the steel drum, the sitar, or the didgeridoo.
