 Africa
The traditional music of Africa, given the vastness of the continent, is historically ancient,
rich and diverse, with different regions and nations of Africa having many
distinct musical traditions. Music in Africa is very important when it comes to religion. Songs
and music are used in rituals and religious ceremonies, to pass down stories from generation
to generation, as well as to sing and dance to.
Traditional music in most of the continent is passed down orally (or aurally) and is not
written. In sub-Saharan African music traditions, it frequently relies on percussion
instruments of every variety, including xylophones, djembes, drums, and tone-producing
instruments such as the mbira or "thumb piano."[1][2]
The music and dance of the African diaspora, formed to varying degrees on African musical
traditions, include American music and many Caribbean genres, such
as soca, calypso(see kaiso) and zouk Latin American music genres such as
the rumba, conga, bomba, cumbia, salsa and samba were founded on the music of enslaved
Africans, and have in turn influenced African popular music.[1]

Latin America
The music of Latin America refers to music originating from Latin America, namely
the Romance-speaking countries and territories of the Americas and the Caribbean south of
the United States.[1] Latin American music also incorporates African music from slaves who
were transported to the Americas by European settlers as well as music from the indigenous
peoples of the Americas.[2] Due to its highly syncretic nature, Latin American music
encompasses a wide variety of styles, including influential genres such
as cumbia, bachata, bossa nova, merengue, rumba, salsa, samba, son, and tango. During the
20th century, many styles were influenced by the music of the United States giving rise to
genres such as Latin pop, rock, jazz, hip hop, and reggaeton.
Geographically, it usually refers to the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking regions of Latin
America,[3] but sometimes includes Francophone countries and territories of the Caribbean
and South America as well. It also encompasses Latin American styles that have originated in
the United States such as salsa and Tejano.[1] The origins of Latin American music can be
traced back to the Spanish and Portuguese conquest of the Americas in the 16th century,
when the European settlers brought their music from overseas.[4] Latin American music is
performed in Spanish, Portuguese, and to a lesser extent, French.[5]

Jazz Music
Jazz is a music genre that originated in the African-American communities of New Orleans,
United States.[1] It originated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and developed from
roots in blues and ragtime.[2] Jazz is seen by many as "America's classical music".[3] Since the
1920s Jazz Age, jazz has become recognized as a major form of musical expression. It then
emerged in the form of independent traditional and popular musical styles, all linked by the
common bonds of African-American and European-American musical parentage with a
performance orientation.[4] Jazz is characterized by swing and blue notes, call and response
vocals, polyrhythms and improvisation.
Jazz has roots in West African cultural and musical expression, and in African-American
music traditions including blues and ragtime, as well as European military band
music.[5] Intellectuals around the world have hailed jazz as "one of America's original art
forms".[6]
As jazz spread around the world, it drew on national, regional, and local musical cultures,
which gave rise to different styles. New Orleans jazz began in the early 1910s, combining
earlier brass-band marches, French quadrilles, biguine, ragtime and blues with
collective polyphonic improvisation. In the 1930s, heavily arranged dance-oriented swing big
bands, Kansas City jazz, a hard-swinging, bluesy, improvisational style and Gypsy jazz (a
style that emphasized musette waltzes) were the prominent styles. Bebop emerged in the
1940s, shifting jazz from danceable popular music toward a more challenging "musician's
music" which was played at faster tempos and used more chord-based improvisation. Cool
jazz developed near the end of the 1940s, introducing calmer, smoother sounds and long,
linear melodic lines.

Popular Music
Pop music is a genre of popular music that originated in its modern form in the United
States and United Kingdom during the mid-1950s.[4] The terms "popular music" and "pop
music" are often used interchangeably, although the former describes all music that is
popular and includes many diverse styles. "Pop" and "rock" were roughly synonymous
terms until the late 1960s, when they became increasingly differentiated from each other.
Although much of the music that appears on record charts is seen as pop music, the genre is
distinguished from chart music. Pop music often borrows elements from other styles such
as urban, dance, rock, Latin, and country; nonetheless, there are many core elements that
define pop music. Identifying factors include generally short to medium-length songs written
in a basic format (often the verse-chorus structure), as well as common use of repeated
choruses, melodic tunes, and hooks.
From about 1967, the term “pop music” was increasingly used in opposition to the term rock
music, a division that gave generic significance to both terms.[13] While rock aspired
to authenticity and an expansion of the possibilities of popular music,[13] pop was more
commercial, ephemeral, and accessible.[14] According to British musicologist Simon Frith, pop
music is produced "as a matter of enterprise not art", and is "designed to appeal to
everyone" but "doesn't come from any particular place or mark off any particular taste". Frith
adds that it is "not driven by any significant ambition except profit and commercial reward
[...] and, in musical terms, it is essentially conservative".

Classical Music
Classical music is art music produced or rooted in the traditions of Western culture,
including both liturgical (religious) and secular music. While a more precise term is also used
to refer to the period from 1750 to 1820 (the Classical period), this article is about the broad
span of time from before the 6th century AD to the present day, which includes the Classical
period and various other periods.[1] The central norms of this tradition became codified
between 1550 and 1900, which is known as the common-practice period.
European art music is largely distinguished from many other non-European classical and
some popular musical forms by its system of staff notation, in use since about the 11th
century.[2] [3]
Catholic monks developed the first forms of modern European musical notation in order to
standardize liturgy throughout the worldwide Church. Western staff notation is used by
composers to indicate to the performer the pitches and durations for a piece of music.[2] In
contrast to most popular styles that adopted the song (strophic) form or a derivation of this
form, classical music has been noted for its development of highly sophisticated forms of
instrumental music such as the symphony, concerto, fugue, sonata, and mixed vocal and
instrumental styles such as opera, cantata, and mass.[4]
The term "classical music" did not appear until the early 19th century, in an attempt to
distinctly canonize the period from Johann Sebastian Bach to Ludwig van Beethoven as a
golden age.[5] The earliest reference to "classical music" recorded by the Oxford English
Dictionary is from about 1829.[1][6]

Philippine popular music

Music of the Philippines (Filipino: Musika ng Pilipinas; Spanish: Música de Filipinas) include
musical performance arts in the Philippines or by Filipinos composed in various genres and
styles. The compositions are often a mixture of different Asian, Spanish, Latin American,
American, and indigenous influences.
Notable folk song composers include the National Artist for Music Lucio San Pedro, who
composed the famous "Sa Ugoy ng Duyan" that recalls about the loving touch of mother to
her child. Another composer, the National Artist for Music Antonino Buenaventura, is notable
for notating folk songs and dances. Buenaventura composed the music for "Pandanggo sa
Ilaw".
Original Pilipino music, now more commonly termed original Pinoy music or OPM, originally
referred only to Philippine pop songs, particularly ballads, such as those popular after the
collapse of its predecessor, the Manila sound of the late 1970s. Currently, OPM is used as a
catch-all term for popular music composed and performed by Filipino musicians and
singers.[1]
Between the 1950s, 1960s, and before the 1970s came the emergence of Pilita
Corrales, Sylvia La Torre, Diomedes Maturan, Ric Manrique Jr., Ruben Tagalog, Helen
Gamboa, Vilma Santos, Edgar Mortiz, Carmen Camacho, among many others.
In the 1970s, popular artists were Nora Aunor, Tirso Cruz III, Eddie Peregrina, Ramon
Jacinto, Victor Wood, and Asin. The more major commercial Philippine pop music artists
were Claire dela Fuente, Didith Reyes, Rico Puno, Ryan Cayabyab, Basil Valdez, Celeste
Legaspi, Hajji Alejandro, Rey Valera, Freddie Aguilar, Imelda Papin, Eva Eugenio, Marco
Sison, Nonoy Zuniga Leah Navarro, Cinderella (Filipino band), Tillie Moreno, Ric
Segreto, Janet Basco, Boyfriends (Filipino band), Hotdog, VST & Co., and many others.
