Author: Music of the World

Music of the World was formed in New York in the early 1980s by Bob Haddad to promote and produce musicians from diverse traditional backgrounds. The company began by presenting traditional musicians in concert, and by recording high quality cassettes which were used for promotional purposes and sold at performances. In 1989, Haddad relocated the label from Brooklyn, New York to Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The label released nearly 90 CD albums with artists from North America, Africa, India, Asia, Europe, and Latin America.
