I’ve always dreamed of living the life of a musician: traveling all over the world, performing every night and experiencing music from other cultures. Unfortunately, I’m not the most experienced musician. However, musically disinclined folks can still appreciate how music provides a unique understanding of new cultures and destinations around the world.
The new guidebook from Museyon Guides, Music + Travel Worldwide: Touring the Globe Through Sounds and Scenes, explores 12 cities through their native music scenes and will satisfy your inner rock star. This book is unlike your run-of-the-mill travel guide—it’s a hybrid guidebook and crash course in world music. Music + Travel Worldwide will take you from Buenos Aires, where cumbia evolved, to Paris, where hip-hop and Muslim identity fuse together for an eclectic sound.
