World Music: A Very Short Introduction

World Music: A Very Short Introduction

Very Short Introductions

World Music draws readers into a remarkable range of 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 witnesses music’s involvement in the modern world, but also the individual moments and particular histories that are crucial to an understanding of music’s diversity.
