 CANOE -- JAM! Music - Pop Encyclopedia - A User's Guide For The Canadian Pop Music Encyclopedia
The Canadian Pop Music Encyclopedia is a listing of biographies and discographies of Canadian Music from 1950 to present.
If a recording has been re-issued it will be listed separately from the earlier version of that title (whether it be on album, cassette, etc.) so multiple listings for any given title may contain old record label affiliations as well as current affiliations.
The Encyclopedia occasionally, but does not as a rule, list band members who were used as session players, temporary fill-ins or supplemental performers added to a revived or reunited act that is not known to be recording new or current material.

 Folk music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The pattern of urban influence on folk music was intensified to outright destruction as soon as the capitalist economic system had developed to the point that music could be packaged and distributed for the purpose of earning a profit--in other words, when popular music was born.
Folk music is easily identified with the ordinary working people who created it, and preserving treasured things against the claimed relentless encroachments of capitalism is likewise a goal of many politically progressive people.
Yet in nations or regions where folk music is a badge of cultural or national identity, the loss of folk music can be slowed; this is held to be true, for instance in the case of Hungary, Ireland, Brittany, and Galicia, Greece and Crete all of which retain their traditional music to some degree.

 Music of Puerto Rico - Genres: Bomba
Bomba is more like an event: it involves singing, dancing and music," says Héctor Lugo, singer and percussionist of San Francisco-based traditional bomba and plena band, Los Pleneros de la 24.

During festivals to honor the Christian St James, bomba music was played and the traditional mask was worn.

 Encyclopedia: Music of Germany
The era of Romantic music is defined as the period of European classical music that runs roughly from the early 1800s to the first decade of the 20th century, as well as music written according to the norms and styles of that period.
Classical music is a broad, somewhat imprecise term, referring to music produced in, or rooted in the traditions of, European art, ecclesiastical and concert music, encompassing a broad period from roughly 1000 to the present day.
The beginning of what is now considered German music could be traced back to the 12th century compositions of mystic abbess Hildegard of Bingen, who wrote a variety of hymns and other kinds of Christian music.
