New book explores global influences on Western pop music

Season 2024 Episode 335 | 6m 53s

Western pop music has always been influenced by artists and styles from around the world. A new book aims to give those varied influences — all of them — their due. Special correspondent Tom Casciato has the story as part of our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
