About world music
The term "world music", meaning folk music from around the world, has been credited to ethnomusicologist Robert E. Brown, who coined it in the early 1960s at Wesleyan University in Connecticut, where he developed undergraduate through doctoral programs in the discipline. To enhance the learning process, he invited more than a dozen visiting performers from Africa and Asia and began a world music concert series.
