World Music Performance Assignment
(30 Points)
(Due uploaded by: 5/23/24)
Instructions: The objective of this assignment is to give you an opportunity to experience a live musical performance of music from one of the cultures studied in this class ONLY (African, Indigenous, Asian, etc.). You will be required to view a performance (with real musicians/singers) live or via Youtube (May not be a “music video”). You will identify a world Ethnic music performance that is NOT from your own cultural background.

The performance that you choose MAY NOT be one of the examples that you viewed in any of our class Modules but must be one of the genres.
