I changed the article because some bands in the Celtic tradition are quite often referred to as worldbeat.

Afrobeat probably shouldn't be listed as a subgenre. This article seems to be saying worldbeat is Western pop music with "world" influences, while afrobeat is jazz+funk+african music (essentially). I'm removing afrobeat as a subgenre unless someone can find references. 71.192.88.187 ( talk) 20:32, 27 May 2012 (UTC) reply
