This is in no way completely representative of World music (which is silly lumping everything not in English into one name), but it is a taste of a few artists that like to let their worldy experiences and influences affect their work. Whether it's Beirut's European roadtrip inspired "Postcards From Italy", DJ Shadow's opening Norweigan prog sample for "Mutual Slump", or the infectious Italian audience participation in Jens Lekman's "A Sweet Summer's Night At Hammer Hill" these songs are ecstatic and joyful, a bit exotic, but only to please.

The 1980's: The time people thought they had reached technology's height, their hair styles were higher, cubes were cool, and music was romantic again. Savage synths, deep drums, lorn lost love lyricists, and angular guitars galore, 8o's popular music created a style in it's own. Hearts on headbands, it was a carthartic time.
