Forms of Music Around the World

Forms of Music Around the World

I have lived in one city my entire life, that city is Calgary. Because of this I have primarily been exposed to western music (rock, pop, hip-hop, country, electronic etc.). If the internet didn't exist I might not be aware that these types of music aren't the only ones that exist. Around the world people are listening to many different types of music, some sound very foreign and obscure. Music is not exclusively for listening either. Around the world people are expressing music in very different ways compared to western culture. These are some different ways music is expressed in other cultures.
