A sweet lullaby for "world music". Feld, S. Homme, 12(171-172):389–408, 2004. doi abstract bibtex How has « world music » moved from remote academic interest to global commercial marketplace? The article first concerns this history of « world music » as a discourse, narrated equally by tropes of « celebration » and « anxiety. » It then considers «world music » as a zone of interactions and contacts, as well as aesthetic and business practices. These are represented in a case study of a traditional lullaby first recorded in Solomon Islands by an ethnomusicologist, then sampled on a multi- million selling CD by a major European pop group, and then re-appropriated by a prominent European jazz musician. Finally, the article questions whether « world music » creates more artistic humiliation for indigenous traditions than true possibilities for new musical resistance or hybridity.
