First I researched on World Music.

Studies of World Music
As Im very interested in composing and listening to all different types of music genre, Im very much interested in researching about the varieties of traditional/ethnic musics and cultural values. Its interesting to see a certain culture to be assiociated with instruments, example, when we hear a tabla we automatically know its originated from the Indians. So why are Indian? Is it the sound? or the rythm? or both?



Do you know that the term World Music originated from France? There are so many things to explore in world music and I will be learning ALOT from the different cultures. Who knows for this proj, I might be doing a music video from one of the ethnic that Im most comfortable with. Or I can also fuse different cultures together and see what it comes out with. Its just so fun experimenthing!

Things to take note (from wikipedia)

World music does not include
Western popular music
Western Art music (i.e. European classical music)
Any post-ska genre of Jamaican music[citation needed] (i.e. reggae and its various subgenres)
Reggaeton

However, world music does not have to mean traditional folk music, it may refer to the indigenous classical forms of various regions of the world, and to modern, cutting edge pop music styles as well. Succinctly, it can be described as "local music from out there",[4] or "someone else's local music".

There's also a term called ETHNOMUSICOLOGY. Its defined as 'The study of social and cultural aspects of music and dance in local and global context'


Different cultural instruments, comes in all shapes and sizes!

Oh, Miss Tina pass me this book on cinematography. So sweet of her! But I have yet to look into it.
