ABSTRACT
Afropop is a term referring to both contemporary and traditional dance music from all over Africa. It probably originated in the USA and was the name given to a national public radio programme on African popular music. Bachata is taking its name from working-class parties, this urban style evolved out of the Dominican canciones de amargue to emerge as a distinct genre in the early 1970s. Celtic music is a loose but persistent term covering a wide variety of mostly folk-derived musics from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Northumbria in England, Brittany in France, and Galicia and Asturias in Spain. Drill n bas is a harsh, jarring and tortuous industrial dance style put together in a way that is suggestive of controlled chaos. Eklektisk is a mixture of any number of genres that together constitute a sense of eclecticism that challenges any sense of commercialism.
