Now you`re trying to confuse me !
"Americana" covers country music. Agreed.
"Americana" covers American folk music. Agreed.
"World Music", though, is a much bigger category, which could include Americana, but first I`d like you to clear up this doubt if you can, Il Duce :-

Is "world music" a term like "abroad", which takes it`s meaning from where you are ? "Abroad" is just any country that isn`t mine. Does that mean that in the same way, if you live in Iran, The Beatles count as world music because they come from a different country ?
