Ethnomusicology

Ethnomusicology (from the Greek ethnos = nation and mousike = music), is the study of music in its cultural context, cultural musicology. It can be considered the anthropology or ethnography of music. It is often thought of as a study of non-Western musics, but can include the study of Western music from an anthropological perspective.
