Name a musician associated with diaspora to global music. Explain your answer

What will be an ideal response?

• Ofra Haza is a Yemeni Jew who grew up in Israel performing in community theater and whose music has become known throughout the world (global music).


• She combines her local musical style (diaspora) with some of the features of Western pop music – e.g., the Yemeni tradition of using a brass tray and tin can as percussion instruments to accompany religious songs of Yemeni Jews. Her songs may be presented in a strong, metered pop style accompanied by Western music ensembles.


• Her style of music may be classified as "World Beat or "EthnoPop," or under the more ambiguous term of "World Music."
