EUROPE

Music in Europe is as diverse as its history. Musical traditions from each country are distinct revealing a unique culture and society. From Ireland's storytelling songs of the past, to Spain's vibrant and poetic rythms, european music reflects a rich mosaic of cultures and traditions. The innovation of European music especially in techno and house is popular all over the world no matter what language you speak. With influences from Latin America, Africa, and the United States, music in Europe is becoming increasingly globalized and is still able to retain its own unique style.
