Format: Paperback
The book is full of insight into "world music," which is mainly a marketing concept but also encompasses most of the world's popular music! This is an academic work that is also enjoyable to read and complements well those studies that focus on the artists and music, such as "World Music: The Rough Guide" and "The Brazilian Sound."
