Kalistan Most Musical Nation In Terra
IAM releases data about the most influential nations in the world music scene
May 4237
The International Academy of Music (IAM) has published new data relating to the differing impact of various nation's on Terra's musical zeitgeist. In the most comprehensive study of its kind, the IAM analysed a number of factors varying from the musical artists originating from the country to the proliferation of music venues within it. According to the study, entitled 'Impact of the Nation on Music and its Themes', Kalistan has contributed the most to the international music industry, closely followed by Dranland and New Endralon/Kizenia.

Kalistan is renowned for its outdoor festival Ganjam, one of the largest in Terra, which draws monumental crowds each year. As well as a plethora of musical talent, the festival highlights comedians and, sporadically, more diverse art forms. On top of that, Kalistan is recognised in the study for supporting a variety of musical genres from its iconic reggae and ska beats to the fusion of styles known as 'Bananti'. It is their position as an attraction for talent across the globe which was the most significant factor in their placing, though, with the authors highlighting the vast array of acts who were able to kick-start their careers in the country.
Rounding out the top three, the ranking of Dranland and New Endralon/Kizenia was primarily centred on the volume of artists emanating from those countries. Dranland, in particular, was referred to as a 'hotbed' of rock music. Though the study didn't identify a single reason for this, it highlighted a specific culture in the country which sees parents regularly taking their children to concerts and surrounding themselves with music. According to its research, Dranish nationals listen to seven hours more music each week than the average Terran citizens. It is unsurprising, then, that so many individuals decide to make the leap and create their own music.
Other nations to be praised within the report include New Verham, for their reputation for infusing traditional sounds into modern melodies, and Egelion, who's language has become one of the most prevalent in world rap music. In their final summary, the report's authors left a warning message, however. Across Terra, the trend towards cutting funding for artistic institutions is making it increasingly risky for groups to begin their musical journey. Unless that is reversed, there is a risk that our ability to enjoy music will be limited further and further- something which would be a great tragedy for future generations.
