World music has characteristics that distinguishes itself as a genre from the others.The ethnic style and rythm of world music makes the genre
unique,and also traditional ethnic instruments such as the West african harp, steel drums and the sitar has its own tone.These intruments does not
automatically isolates world music as a traditional genre but rather music from all over the world.All these modes and musical inflections is created

which helps get their music out to the rest of the world.World music also allows people to express themselves in a way they can not do in other genres in terms of
creativity.
