This website contains a list of all the various genres within music and this evidently shows that there is a vast amount of genres available to audiences.
Hybrid Music Genres
Since the music industry established this genre as a categorical standard, the fuller scope of what an average music consumer defines as "world" music in today's market has grown to include various blends of ethnic music tradition, style and interpretationand derivative world music genres have been coined to represent these hybrids, such as World fusion, Golbal fusion, Ethnic fusion or Worldbeat. Good examples of hybrid, world fusion are the Irish / West African meld of Afro Celt Sound System,the pan-cultural sound of Aomusic and thejazz / Finnish folk music of Värttinä, each of which bare tinges of contemporary, Western influence—an increasingly noticeable element in the expansion genres of world music.World fusion / Worldbeat / Ethnic fusion / Global fusion can also blend specific indigenous sounds with more blatant elements of Western pop. Good examples are Paul Simon'sGraceland album, on which South African Mbaqanga music is heard, Peter Gabriel's work with Sufi singer, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and the Deep Forest project, in which vocal loops fromWest Africa are blended with Western, contemporary rhythmic textures and harmony structure.
Depending on style and context, world music can sometimes share the New age music genre, which is also a fast expanding category that often includes Ambient music and textural expressions from indigenous roots sources. Good examples are Tibeten bowls, Tuvian throat singing, Gregorian Chant or Native American flute music. World music blended with New age music is a sound, loosely classified as the hybrid genre, Ethnic fusion.
