Popular World Music, Third 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 emanating primarily from the United States. Each chapter focuses on specific music styles and their associated geographic origin, as well as well-known representative artists, such as Bob Marley, Carmen Miranda, ABBA, BTS, 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 in today's 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.
