Answer to Question 1

Folk music, for example, the distinctive musical calls or chanted sacred songs by traveling vendors selling wares or services and who are trying to gain the attention of prospective buyers.

Answer to Question 2

Globalization and instant communication have allowed Indian musicians to become familiar with music from all over the world, including Western art music and American and European popular music, in addition to introducing the use of non-Indian musical instruments such as saxophone and various electronic instruments, which have been adapted to Indian music styles. (In turn, culture had been one of modern India's most prestigious exports.)
