In popular music, worldbeat refers to any style of music which fuses folk music, often from non-traditional sources with Western rock or other pop influences. Worldbeat is usually said to have begun in the mid-1980s when artists like David Byrne, Peter Gabriel, and Paul Simon began incorporating influences from around the world, especially Africa and Latin America. Within a few years, worldbeat became a thriving subgenre of popular music that influenced many more mainstream musicians.
