World Music Quotes

And why is our music called world music? I think people are being polite. What they want to say is that it's third world music. Like they use to call us under developed countries, now it has changed to developing countries, it's much more polite. Miriam Makeba
Anita Diament quote: "I love many kinds of music: world music, jazz, classical, pop."

Isaac Stern quote: "Everywhere in the world, music enhances a hall, with one..."
Everywhere in the world, music enhances a hall, with one exception: Carnegie Hall enhances the music. Isaac Stern
I listen to music mostly in the evening. I've come to love what is called world music, like the Zimbabwean Oliver Mtukudzi and the Colombian singer Marta Gomez. I also love the Irish folk singer Mary Black. Other favorites include Chet Baker, Eva Cassidy, and Billie Holiday. Jeannette Walls
David Guetta quote: "Traveling all around the world, music sounds different."
Traveling all around the world, music sounds different. David Guetta
Well, Smoke n' Mirrors has very much a world music flavor and it doesn't park itself in one country. It borrows heavily from the Brazilian angle, which is dear to my heart, and I recorded several albums with that flavor. Lee Ritenour
I am consciously not trying to bring in World Music elements. The ways that I work and feel are completely different in how they sound than someone playing the Kora in Africa would play it. Joanna Newsom
In the last few years I've been listening to jazz more than anything else. I listen to a lot of world music and experimental here and there. Serj Tankian
I thinks it really interesting how they throw the world music samples in there. I often wonder what it would be like to do something like that, but use my lyrics and my kind of style. Marc Almond
Music, to me, is the most beautiful form, and I love film because film is very related to music. It moves by you in its own rhythm. It's not like reading a book or looking at a painting. It gives you its own time frame, like music, so they are very connected for me. But music to me is the biggest inspiration. When I get depressed, or anything, I go "think of all the music I haven't even heard yet!" So, it's the one thing. Imagine the world without music. Man, just hand me a gun, will you? Jim Jarmusch
Music had stirred him like that. Music had troubled him many times. But music was not articulate. It was not a new world, but rather another chaos, that it created in us. Words! Mere words! How terrible they were! How clear and vivid, and cruel! One could not escape from them. And yet what subtle magic there was in them! They seemed to be able to give plastic form to formless things, and to have music of their own as sweet as that of viol or of flute. Mere words! Was there anything so real as... Oscar Wilde
Jimi Hendrix quote: "Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this..."
Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music. Jimi Hendrix
Music has always been transnational; people pick up whatever interests them, and certainly a lot of classical music has absorbed influences from all over the world. Yo-Yo Ma
Music has brought me some of the highest moments of my life. I don't even hear the music. I don't even hear the notes. I'm not aware that someone has turned on a tape machine - I'm in another world. Jane Seymour
Music is the greatest communication in the world. Even if people don't understand the language that you're singing in, they still know good music when they hear it. Lou Rawls
