Great Big Sea Concert Tickets
Enjoy Great Big Sea tickets at your fingertips thanks to TicketSmarter. While Great Big Sea is known as a world music artist, the term world music may refer to a wide range of musical styles and traditions. A term coined by Westerners, world music is generally classified as music not rooted in European or North American tradition. As such, world music artists may hail anywhere from Japan to India to the African continent. Also, as the genre encompasses so many cultures and musical styles, the sounds of world music may incorporate any number of traditional instruments in addition to popular modern sounds. Regardless, it’s likely that a number of influences have come together to inspire the sounds of Great Big Sea.
While world music cannot be defined by one particular sound or style, popular genres include afrobeat, bossa nova and traditional Celtic. A few groups have been instrumental in cementing the genre’s popularity in the US. South African male choral group Ladysmith Black Mambazo is one such notable world music group, in part because of their collaboration with iconic singer/songwriter Paul Simon. Simon’s 1986 album Graceland was the fruit of his musical voyage to South Africa, during which he worked with a number of African musicians. Graceland exposed millions of listeners to world music and surely helped the genre gain new fans. The demand for Great Big Sea tickets speaks to a trend of world music artists reaching a growing audience.
