- Although presumably coined by ethnomusicologist Robert E. Brown in the early 1960s with his World Music concert series, […] the World Music tag was officially adopted by the music industry in the late 1980s as a marketing label to refer to “commercially available music of non-Western origin” circulating in “the West.”
