Answer to Question 1

• Worldbeat is a wide category that combines popular genres of music that have a level of international recognition with a local or indigenous music usually considered exotic'


• Other terms used to refer to the same phenomena are world music,' global music,' and global pop.'

Answer to Question 2

• This type of synthesis has many names from fusion, hybrid, syncretism to creole.


• WOM prefers the term fusion for such music because it denotes a combination of different elements through heat, or in the case of cultural practices, through intense contact and interaction.
