Popular World Music, Second Edition introduces students to popular
music genres and artists from around the world. Andrew Shahriari
discusses international music styles familiar to most
students-Reggae, Salsa, K-Pop, and more-with a comprehensive
listening-oriented introduction to mainstream musical culture. Each
chapter focuses on specific music styles and their associated
geographic origin, as well as best-known representative artists,
such as Bob Marley, Carmen Miranda, ABBA, and Ladysmith Black
Mambazo. The text assumes no prior musical knowledge and emphasizes
listening as a pathway to learning about music and culture. The
subject matter fulfills core, general education requirements found
today in the university curriculum. The salient musical and
cultural features associated with each example are discussed in
detail to increase appreciation of the music, its history, and
meaning to its primary audience. NEW to this edition Updates to
content to reflect recent developments in resources and popular
music trends. Contributing authors in additional areas, including
Folk Metal, Chinese Ethnic Minority Rock, and Trinidadian Steel
Drum and Soca. "Artist Spotlight" sections highlighting important
artists, such as Mary J. Blige, Bob Marley, Tito Puente, Enya, Umm
Kulthum and more. "Ad-lib Afterthought" sections and "Questions to
Consider" to prompt further discussion of each chapter. Lots of new
photos! Updated and additional website materials for students and
instructors.
