ACTIVITES OF WORLD MUSIC
ASSOCIATION OF SERBIA:
A new understanding of sound culture took
place at the beginning of the eighties in the twentieth century by a spontaneous
compromise between ancient (traditional) musical cultures and contemporary
musical trends. Such a union produced a cultural trend called simply World
Music. World Music obtained very quickly a great significance in the modern
society due to its artistic scope. It largely overgows the literal understanding
of the notion of music, for, with its conception, it approaches the sociological
/ philosophical ideas of the New age. World Music sharing the vision that the
world is a patchwork of millions of local traditions and music, each different
in contents yet equal in value.
Seeing that the Festival Ethnomus has succeded to educate for
a short time the public and to induce the artists of World Music orientation to
go on in the same direction, a group of festival enthusiasts decided to found
World Music Association of Serbia (WMAS). WMAS was registered at the Justice
Ministry of Federal Republic of Yugoslavia on 4th January 2001. (No 1729) as
non-governmental and non-profit making organization. The main duty of WMAS is
the affirmation of the national World Music culture, education of the society
and co-operation with organizations and individuals of the same orientation
throughout the world.
In order to achieve their aims, the activists of WMAS are
starting a series of campaigns:
- Organization of a World Music Festival
Ethnomus Project (1997-2006.)
- Organization of a scientific
semminars,
- Publication of World Music Magazine "Etnoumlje",
- Information
service: database listings of serbian musicians, orchestras and organisations
with an interest in world music,
- The promotion CDs World Music From Serbia:
present a selection of the leading serbian world music orchestras. A new CDs is
realised every year,
- Serbian World Music SWM Internet Radio (since
2008.).
WMAS is open to all amateurs of World Music culture in Serbia and elsewhere.
That is why we invite all organizations and individuals to join us for
co-operation and an exchange of experiences in our common noble desire to affirm
World Music culture.

WORLD MUSIC FESTIVAL ETNOMUS,
(SERBIA, JAGODINA) 1997-2006:
International World Music Festival ETNOMUS
present music in the area of world, ethnic, traditional, folk and roots music.
Festival sharing the vision that the world is a patchwork of millions of local
traditions and music, each different in contents yet equal in value.
Festival ETNOMUS is the originator of a new musical expression in Serbia. It
originated in 1997. with the financial support of the Fund for an Open Society
in Belgrade, Serbian Ministry of Culture, Pro Helvetia Fund, SO Jagodina etc.
Modestly, yet significantly, Festival ETNOMUS has presented so far nearly 200
musicians of World Music orientation in twelve program evenings in Jagodina
town. Its conception is based on presenting of the primordial music of the
Balkans and of new artistic forms created by the union of the traditional and
contemporary music.
We are persuaded that the Balkans can present to the rest of
the world their high musical achievements thus bringing together different
cultures and different nations globally. World Music is the right way to mutual
understanding and peace among the peoples of the Balkans.
Since 2006. the
festival ETNOMUS is not taking place. The festival is replaced by World Music
concerts together with conferring of World Music Magazine ETNOUMLJE in Jagodina
during the whole year.

WHAT IS WORLD
MUSIC?
World music is, most generally, all the
music in the world. More specifically, the term is currently used to
classify the many genres of non-Western music which were previously
described as "folk music" or "ethnic music". However, "world music"
does not have to mean traditional folk music, it may refer to the
indigenous classical forms of various regions of the world, and to
modern, cutting edge pop music styles as well. Succinctly, it can be
described as "local music from out there", or "someone else's local
music". Music from around the world exerts wide cross-cultural
influence as styles naturally influence one another, and in recent
years "world music" has also been marketed as a successful genre in
itself. Academic study of world music, as well as the musical genres
and individual artists with which it has been associated, can be found
in such disciplines as anthropology, Folkloristics, Performance Studies
and ethnomusicology. In essence, the term "world music" refers to any
form of music that is not part of modern mainstream Western commercial
popular music or classical music traditions, and which typically
originates from outside the cultural sphere of Western Europe and the
English-speaking nations. The term became current in the 1980s as a
marketing/classificatory device in the media and the music industry,
and it is generally used to classify any kind of "foreign" (i.e.
non-Western) music. In musical terms, "world music" can be roughly
defined as music which uses distinctive ethnic scales, modes and
musical inflections, and which is usually (though not always) performed
on or accompanied by distinctive traditional ethnic instruments, such
as the kora (African lute), the steel drum, the sitar or the digeridoo.
Most typically, the term "world music" has now replaced "folk music" as
a shorthand description for the very broad range of recordings of
traditional indigenous music and song from the so-called Third World
countries. Although it primarily describes traditional music, the world
music genre also includes popular music from non-Western urban
communities (e.g. South African "township" music) and non-European
music forms that have been influenced by other "third world" musics
(e.g. Afro-Cuban music), although Western-style popular song sourced
from non- English- speaking countries in Western Europe (e.g. French
pop music) would not generally be considered world music.
Examples of popular forms of world music include the various forms of
non-European classical music (e.g. Japanese koto music, Hindustani raga
music, Tibetan chants), eastern European folk music (e.g. the village
music of Bulgaria) and the many forms of folk and tribal music of the
Middle East, Africa, Asia, Oceania and Central and South America. Read more Wikipedia >>
