Hannibal Records was a record label and one of the first to work with the World music genre. Hannibal was started by Joe Boyd in 1980. Boyd had produced records by artists such as Nick Drake, The Incredible String Band and Fairport Convention and released recordings by these artists as well as others such as Trio Bulgarka on his new label. Around this time folk music from around the world was being released by different labels but was so varied it did not fit into a particular genre.

- Hannibal Records was a record label and one of the first to work with the World music genre. Hannibal was started by Joe Boyd in 1980. Boyd had produced records by artists such as Nick Drake, The Incredible String Band and Fairport Convention and released recordings by these artists as well as others such as Trio Bulgarka on his new label. Around this time folk music from around the world was being released by different labels but was so varied it did not fit into a particular genre. Boyd and a collection of other music industry leaders decided to coin the term world music in order to give this music a name for marketing purposes. Hannibal began releasing records under the world music banner. In the early 1990s Hannibal was purchased by independent label Rykodisc. Joe Boyd continued managing the label until the late 1990s when Rykodisc was purchased by Palm Pictures. After Boyd's departure from Hannibal the label lay dormant. In 1998 Andrew Childs took over the running of Hannibal. A new lineup of artists was introduced including Robert Wyatt, Phil Manzanera and Brian Eno and the label began to reissue recordings from the All Saints label. As well as these established artists Hannibal began to sign new artists such as folk rock band The Eighteenth Day of May. In 2006 Rykodisc was bought by Warner music. In December 2006, Warner decided to close down Hannibal.
- La Hannibal Records era un'etichetta discografica indipendente britannica fondata dal famoso produttore musicale Joe Boyd nel 1980. Si è distinta per l'alto livello musicale degli artisti pubblicati, provenienti da molti paesi e culture diverse. Fu una delle prime a pubblicare dischi di world music, si specializzò anche negli album di folk rock e di rock progressivo, nonché nella riedizione di dischi usciti in precedenza di autori famosi di questi generi. Tra i primi album pubblicati dalla Hannibal vi furono quelli di Nick Drake, della Incredible String Band e dei Fairport Convention, che erano stati prodotti da Boyd. Fu di questi tempi che lo stesso Boyd ed altri discografici coniarono il termine "world music", per aiutare la promozione dei lavori di questo genere musicale. Negli anni ottanta l'azienda assorbì la preesistente Carthage Records, che ne divenne un'affiliata. Agli inizi degli anni novanta la Hannibal fu acquistata dall'etichetta indipendente Rykodisc. Il marchio rimase e Joe Boyd continuò a lavorare in qualità di direttore fino alla fine degli anni novanta, quando la Rykodisc fu venduta alla Palm Pictures. Nel 1998 Andrew Childs divenne il nuovo manager della Hannibal e mise sotto contratto diversi artisti di fama tra i quali Robert Wyatt, Phil Manzanera e Brian Eno, dei quali furono ripubblicati lavori precedenti. Furono anche ripubblicati alcuni album dell'etichetta All Saints Records e messi sotto contratto alcuni artisti emergenti, come la band di folk rock The Eighteenth Day of May. Nel 2006 la Rykodisc fu acquistata dal colosso americano Warner music che, a dicembre dello stesso anno, chiuse la Hannibal.
