If you think about it, all music is World music. American and British jazz, rock, soul, folk, and blues are all mashups from different cultures, really. The following songs come from all over the place, where musical currents run together in a never-changing cauldron of invention. Many of the words sung here you may not understand, but it hardly matters; to paraphrase Marshall McLuhan, the medium is the music.
