In July, National Geographic annouced the creation of a music initiative that offers the soundtrack to the world, from traditional roots music to unexpected hybrids from the furthest reaches of the globe. National Geographic World Music www.worldmusic.nationalgeographic.com showcases international artists and musical performances in an interactive and immersive online environment. The site provides rich context for music through videos, maps, photos and features from its magazines, and other editorial platforms. Searches are enabled via artist, genre, country and region. Featured artists at launch include Tinariwen, Sidestepper and Seu Jorge.

The site is programmed by recognized  music experts under the suervision of Tom Pryor, former editor of Global Rhythm magazine, and, with partner Calabash, they will make thousands of tracks available at 99 cents per MP3 download. Other strategic partners include LinkTV for video, and Afropop Worldwide and Global Rhythm for editorial and curatorial content. 10/04/06
