World music is a broad genre category encompassing traditional, folk, and popular music from cultures around the globe outside the mainstream Western pop and rock traditions, including genres like Afrobeat, flamenco, reggae, and Indian classical music. Enthusiasts explore it to appreciate diverse musical traditions, instruments, and rhythms, often through streaming playlists, world music festivals, or learning to play traditional instruments. It's also studied academically under ethnomusicology.
