MuGlobe.com — All the music in the world.

Explore music geographically in the MuGlobe globe, then follow its sounds, stories, people and cultural connections here.

Explore the genre library

The first researched collection covers all 510 genres and musical practices currently in the globe. Each article brings together history, musical characteristics, living communities, representative artists or practitioners, related listening and references.

Browse the alphabetical article index, or use the search box to find a genre. The globe's genre choices also link to their articles.

These are editable first-pass articles. Musical categories can overlap, change through time and mean different things in different communities. MuGlobe describes cultural identity without ranking cultural worth.

From an article to the globe

The Hotspot mushrooms section at the bottom of each genre article is a readable, editable description of its musical landscapes. Broad connected heartlands include the communities between prominent cities; meaningful separated scenes can have their own fields.

The shaded map expresses informed editorial judgment about musical affinity. Its radius and strength are map settings, not measured percentages of listeners. Editors revise the article's table, and a deliberate compilation publishes that accepted data to the globe.

Music and place

A community encyclopedia

Articles use the defined MuGlobe categories and their templates. The collection will keep growing and improving through the knowledge of musicians, listeners, researchers and local communities.
