The book edited by Simon Broughton, Mark Ellingham, and Richard Trillo was published on November 1999. The book is about music from Europe and explains where music comes from and how it was inspiring for everyone there it gives a list of places where music was popular and where music originally came from. “The whole world is a narrow bridge and the most important thing is not to be afraid “said Rabbi Nahman from the eighteen century. The book gives positive feedback and gives a list of many artists and what kind of music they sing. I think the book is a helpful way to learn where music really comes from and how all around the world people listen to the same types of songs just that it’s a new generation.
