Do artists compromise their traditional way of making music to appeal to a global audience?

For your midterm project, you will write a blog about two of the migrant communities we have studied so far, using at least two of the articles we read in class to help you. You will narrate the story of how these immigrants came to the United States, under what circumstances, and what brought them here. You will then talk about some of their most significant music, providing links to YouTube videos and explaining why the songs you picked are relevant to know. Finally, you will conclude your work by placing the music of these communities within the realm of World Music today. You should answer questions such as, is this music still recorded commercially? Has this music changed from traditional music-making to a more globalized one? Do artists compromise their traditional way of making music to appeal to a global audience? Or, have these musics always been global in one way or another?
The assignment is a blog post and not an academic paper. Even though your tone should be for a general audience, remember to cite your sources. For this assignment, you are not allowed to use Wikipedia, as it is not a reliable source of information. Instead, use the library’s databases to complete your research. I will provide some useful links that can help you.
Checklist:
700-1000 words
Musical examples (via YouTube, Spotify, or iTunes links)
Comparing and contrasting at least two of the cultures studied in class
Target your blogpost for a general audience without compromising critical thinking, grammar, and formatting
