The term "world music" is a term I don't particularly like, to imply something as world music would immediately suggest to me that this music had come from a different world to our own. Which is obviously complete dog balls. The NEW-MMOW (nasty ethnocentric world music men or women) would have you believe music from Haiti and Poland would sound the same. To be honest im not even sure if a Haitian has ever met a Polish let alone sat down and made music with them.
Right lecture over, here are a couple of tracks from Antartek records, a label dedicated to, in their own words- "uniting the Southern hemisphere to the Northern and vice versa, a global cultural exchange using new technologies". Not sure if I totally agree with their words either but its progress from world music.
