I'M BACK!! Looking to try and (reconnect) with my friends from before last closed down...my last time I was here was in 2009-10...I've actually forgotten how it used to work. If (ANYBODY) remembers me, it would be nice to speak to you...I used to LOVE this site...LORD-TAMMER '23

eu queria poder encher essa tag de porrada

africa

stupidest tag

everybody knows that music from the USA is not part of the world 🤷‍♂️

This is convenient because most of the music I like was made in the world

easily the most stupid genre name ever

we are the

It's a good tag for anyone who's against imperialism, in my opinion

laziest name for a genre ever

fuck world music all my homies hate world music

Who came up with this tag? Lmao.

Oh man, this tag is out of this world!

worst tag ever

shit tag

Just meant to be a catch-all category. Stupid to tag artists as such when we already have tags for "son", "mali", etc.

not really

offensive term

Don't miss this one t0o, https://youtu.be/swDaC3pnieQ

I prefer to use the term "Ethnic Music."

MÚSICA SOUND November 12, 2014 Tomar el té en la India, un whisky en el desierto, fumar algo en Jamaica, comer ostras en Bretaña, perderte en Granada, montar a caballo en Mongolia, jugar a la play en Japón, volver a fumar algo en Marruecos,hacer el amor en la selva africana, perderte en la sabana, tomarte una pinta en Irlanda, mascar coca en Perú, invitar a tu pareja a un roncito en Cuba, volver a Jamaica …. Y todo sin salir de casa con esta lista que no es de una agencia de viajes. http://playlistspotify.wordpress.com/2014/11/12/musica-sound/

the alternative would be 'foreign music' and no one wants to say that.

"lol. Isn't every music produced ever world music, as it was produced somewhere on this world? Pretty pointless." I think you missed the point.

AFRICAN MUSIC. Centrada fundamentalmente en el África negra, la lista recorre sonidos llenos de ritmo, ternura, espiritualidad y, como no, reivindicación política. Canciones del gran Fela Kuti, Tony Allen, Malatu Astatke, el afro-beat, los sonidos de Etiopía, etc. A spotify list: http://playlistspotify.wordpress.com/2014/02/02/african-music/

Japanese Flute Shakuhachi, Abstract Hip-Hop Meditation (Zen Music) Zen Hop by DJ Gami.K https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVBGLIjdPLA

lol. Isn't every music produced ever world music, as it was produced somewhere on this world? Pretty pointless.

I would like to see the long birth certificates of Manu Chao and George Harrison. Surely they are both extraterrestrial? I kindly urge the last.fm staff to delete this derogatory tag.

or maybe you prefer musics in this tag to be called outer-world musics?

People who say they like "world music" shouldn't be allowed to have a passport.

(-:

But I do like the current description for this tag: "'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)."

v Agreed. I hate the use of this tag and I hate that my local music store has a "world" section in which they stick any album they're not sure how to classify. I once asked an employee there why I found music by lesser known central american artists in the "world" section but Shakira is in the regular rock/pop section. It makes no sense!

this tag is one of the biggest insults ever. i am ashamed that it still predominates in use as indirect and underhanded mockery for the various styles of international folk artists.

surely music from other worlds is still world. [2] I prefer Mars music, myself. [2] ;-)

politics aside-i love the music whatever the tag its given-this is the real music!

I want this tag to die by lots of fire [8]
