Welcome to our community for the discussion of ethnomusicology and world music. Ethnomusicology is the study of how humans interact with music on a cultural level. Ethnomusicologists typically focus on music outside of the Western European classical repertoire, but anything is fair game. The main distinction is ethnomusicology’s method, which is anthropological and ethnographic.
