“World” not “World”
These genres are sometimes called “world music” when in compilations. The term bugs me because it doesn’t actually encompass the whole world.

From the publisher:
…In this beautifully written and well-illustrated guide to birds’ songs from 1904, Mathews describes 127 bird species, mostly of Eastern United States, and their songs. This fieldbook contains descriptions of the physical characteristics and habits of each, as well as detailed comments on their songs and calls. He includes musical
White Throated Sparrow — It Might As Well Be Spring
