The term "world music" has been credited to [[ethnomusicologist]] [[Robert E. Brown]], who coined it in the early 1960s at [[Wesleyan University]] in [[Connecticut]], where he developed undergraduate through [[Doctorate|doctoral]] programs in the discipline. To enhance the learning process (John Hill), he invited more than a dozen visiting performers from Africa and Asia and began a world music concert series.<ref>{{cite web |last=Williams |first=Jack |title=Robert E.

One is that it consists of "all the music in the world", though such a broad definition renders the term virtually meaningless.<ref>Bohlman, Philip (2002).
