 Amazon.com: Music, Race, and Nation : Musica Tropical in Colombia (Chicago Studies in Ethnomusicology): Books: Peter ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Wade's fresh look at the way music transforms and is transformed by ideologies of race, nation, sexuality, tradition, and modernity is the first book-length study of Colombian popular music.
This study is the result of a long-standing interest in racial and national identities, and in issues of cultural hybridity and multiculturalism in an increasingly globalized context (see Wade 1993a, 1995, 1998, 1999).
This narrow focus goes far beyond most general 'world music' features to analyze the roots of the musical styles in that country, considering its rise, regional struggles, and the effects of local styles on Columbian politics and culture as a whole.

 Greatest Music-producing Nation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
But when the music performed by almost every act on the various pop charts can be traced to an American form, it's hard to argue against the Great Satan regardless of population.
America's contributions to classical music haven't been much to speak of, although we have been gaining ground in recent years.
Considering 99% of the music discussed here is "the pop-music-of-the-western-model-of-approx.-1920/30s-to-today" I think it's okay to use the term 'music' in this way for argument's sake.

 Music : Trance Nation 2001 : reviews
Although not really my kind of music the first 10 or so tracks on disc 2 are more of what to expect from a trance set these days, and so are a worthy inclusion to this trance compilation.
Overall this is a fair reflection of trance in 2001, it might unsatisfactory to people who enjoyed the first 4 Tn's, as this album successfully attempts the genre breaking trend currently seen in 2001 dance music.
I must admit I felt the trance nation series was starting to get too commericalised, and found TN4 a bit of a disappointment.

 PopMatters Music Feature | Postcool Music Nation
Typical Malaysian music fans are arguably no different than the average music fan worldwide: They worship the gospel of chart-driven format radio, buy the records of the most poster-worthy acts and care little for invention, only accessibility and acceptability.
But unlike other countries where diverse subcultures like punk, hardcore and indie pop are sizeable enough to find their own tight corners in which to mutate, in Malaysia, they are often mashed together in five-hour shows that sport everyone from Mohawk-wearing punks to mop-tops with horn-rimmed glasses gyrating to anything from screamo to death metal.
Their latest record is available at hypermarkets and the band's mugs adorn the covers of music magazines such as Klue and ROTTW at newsstands all around town.

While I don't have the stats to back it up I'd argue there might be as many Palm OS 5 devices in the market as there are Janus-compatible digital music players, so this is big news for the portable music subscriptions business.
