'world' is the successful marketing buzz of the music industry. i don't use it, only for true auditions of artists from around the world who create a new musical experience (e.g. kronos quartet's album 'caravan'), and then i tag it 'true world music' in order to have it distinguished from the usual 'world' merge of half the world.

Yes, the term "world music" is a bit dodgy. My interpretation of it is that it is music with artists from outside USA and Europe, and those artists don't sing in English. Thus, Eros Ramazzotti, for example, could be tagged as "world music". Anyway, no matter how dodgy the term "world music" is, it is great and important that all of us can enjoy many styles of music from the every corner of the world, sung in any possible language.

Indeed, it's a stupid tag. I guess I should tag Bob Dylan and the likes as "world" too.

I think this tag is racist. It essentially says anything that isn't European or United Stater should have its own genre, regardless of the differences of sounds.
