"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 ?
Americana covers stuff like Apallachian folk, whih would be "world" even in the Anglo-Americanised definition
