Points Of View

Part I examines the world music industry from the points of view of European and American industry personnel (e.g., booking agents, record labels personnel, tour managers). Chapter 1 contextualizes the world music industry in the larger music and culture industries. Since its birth in 1987, world music has been a vague category. It has encompassed an enormous variety of music: traditional and folk musics, newly composed traditional musics, and vintage and contemporary popular musics. What, then, is “world music”? Where did it come from? After providing a historical overview of world music through its emergence as a genre category in the 1980s and its growth in the ’90s, the chapter examines how culture industries have, in collaboration with consumers, developed a market for, and expectations of, ethnic “others” in Europe and North America.
