And since it\u2019s World Music Day (21 June 2022), there&#8217;s no better time to celebrate music&#8217;s impact on countries, cultures and individual lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-world-music-day\"><strong>What is World Music Day?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>World Music Day (\u2018F\u00eate de la Musique\u2019) was created by the Ministry of Culture in France in 1982 to celebrate the wonder gift of music, promote musicians and make music accessible to all. Today it\u2019s celebrated worldwide as musicians of all abilities perform in the streets, concerts are held and parties thrown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Genres from across the world to <\/strong>discover<strong> <\/strong>this World Music Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From soul-stirring Portuguese fado to the body-shaking Brazilian samba, it\u2019s time to invite these fascinating musical genres to the stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Portuguese Fado<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CeMovmismdL\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As you stroll down Portugal\u2019s facade-clad streets, your ears will notice the slow-moving, melancholic sounds of fado. Originating in 1820\u2019s Lisbon, fado is the pride of Portuguese music. Full of bitter-sweet feeling, a musician (or musicians) use guitar, violas and voice to sing about the realities of life and create a saudade \u2013feelings of longing and nostalgia. As a result, fado can conjure up memories of long lost lovers, hopeful anticipation for the future and\/or other emotions, unique to the listener. To start: we recommend you listen to the &#8216;Queen of Fado&#8217; Amelia Rodrigues and visit the fado museum in Alfama, Lisbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/fado-portuguese-music\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The story of Fado: Everything you need to know about Portuguese music<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>French Chanson<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Ce6YKbwt-u6\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Translating to \u2018\u2018French songs\u2019, chanson fran\u00e7aise is the music of France. It rose to fame in music halls and cabaret shows in the early-to-mid 20<sup>th<\/sup> century for its striking, meaningful ballads. Iconic songs like \u00c9dith Piaf\u2019s \u2018La Vie en rose\u2019 (1946) have immortalised chanson and deeply ingrained it in French culture. For example, did you known \u00c9dith Piaf\u2019s funeral in 1963 is the only event to stop traffic in Paris since World War II? Travellers should pair their French exploring with the music of chanson legends like Edith Piaf, Sophia Delila, Charles Aznavour and Joe Dassin in their ear. Or deeply regret it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Brazilian Samba<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CelapvfALLF\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Born in Rio de Janeiro\u2019s favelas in the early 20<sup>th<\/sup> century, samba remains the beating heart of Brazilian music. In fact: that\u2019s even a dedicated national holiday to samba on 2<sup>nd<\/sup> December each year: Samba Day. Using pepinique drums, a cavaquinho, pandeiro and percussion instruments, we promise just one note is enough to get your body moving. It ranges from slow samba to big festival beats full of fast, feel-good rhythms. And if you\u2019re new to samba, head to a Carnival Parade in any of Brazil\u2019s states to shake those hips in the sunshine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Afrobeat<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Dele Sosimi Afrobeat Orchestra - Money Get Power -  LIVE at Afrikafestival Hertme 2017\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nl5x3v-ry2U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Born out of 1970\u2019s, afrobeat is a mix of African music \u2013 Nigerian Yoruba and Ghanian highlife \u2013 and American soul and jazz. Expect big bands, chanted vocals, intersecting rhythms, percussion and improvisation. The result is jazzy, funky and soul sounds that\u2019ll have you tapping your feet within seconds. Funnily enough, that\u2019s all it will take your afrobeat addiction to begin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Korean-Pop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CO8CXK4hmj6\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Korean Pop (\u2018K-Pop\u2019) is an obsession in both Korea and across the world. Especially in the United States, Indonesia, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, Thailand and more. Addictive pop beats, catchy (relatable) lyrics and eye-catching bands with dance routines are K-Pop specialities. So if you\u2019re new here: listen to BTS (pictured above), EXO, Girls\u2019 Generation and BLACKPINK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Southwestern<strong> country music<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2022\/06\/guitar-g162d885a7_1280-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"country music\" class=\"wp-image-869731\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/guitar-g162d885a7_1280-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/guitar-g162d885a7_1280-330x206.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/guitar-g162d885a7_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Country music remains the sound of the United States\u2019 southwest. East Tennessee is recognised as \u2018The Birthplace of Country Music\u2019 by US Congress thanks to recording sessions there in 1927 by Jimmie Rodgers and Carter Family. A mix of folk songs, African American blues and church music is mastered using guitars, banjos and fiddles. This makes for charming music ranging from ballads to \u2018Honky Tonky\u2019 dance tones. To feel the history, travellers must visit &#8216;The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum&#8217; in Nashville. And listen to John Denver, George Strait, Tim McGraw, Johnny Cash and Carrie Underwood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>GET INSPIRED BY: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/tastes-and-sounds-of-the-south\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tastes and Sounds of the American South (Trafalgar tour)<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Irish Folk<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CcGfefOspCR\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A visit to Ireland is complete without traditional Irish music, also known as \u2018Irish folk\u2019.
