From this point on, the videos were conceived much more from a Music Appreciation
(focussing on Europe / USA), rather than World Music perspective.

However, since the World becomes a much more interconnected place,
from the mid-19th Century to the present,
many musics inevitably have more cross-cultural connections,
if only at this relatively early point vis a vis folk music interacting w/ "art music" traditions.

So, feel free to listen / watch videos if you like -- and / or explore further some of the
folk musics linked to Wikipedia articles below (in any case, c. 300-500 words of course)...
