Summary/Abstract: Which areas of music terminology are subject of a closer look in the context of globalization? What are the prerequisites for their transfer and what are the ways of their perception? What requires professional preciseness using little known and unknown terminology? The object of this survey is issues, resulting from the global spread of regional music phenomena and practices, especially related terminology. Precisely the terminology has ability to synthesize and marks the most significant peculiarities of the music of a particular region, sociomusical layer, community and genre. Absorption of ideas, concepts and terminology in a new cultural and musical context often leads to their distortion, misunderstanding, mixing, as well as replacing of meanings. Thus, the focus of the study is issues on transmission of terminology and questions about the way of transcription, translation, terminological meanings and their context. The aim of this study is to set the key points and to propose some solutions in this area of survey. They are results of observations, analyzes and personal research experience about terminology from different regions of Asia and North Africa. Currently local music knowledge and its export have expanded. Together with associative and general translations of foreign musical terminology there is increasing usage of musical vocabulary in which phenomena and artifacts are called in their own original concepts. Thus, concepts are used as they are called by the representatives of the culture in which they are created and developed. That is just the way of reflection and verbalization of certain types of musical thinking, which is considered basic in this study. In the article are presented examples of transmission of terminology to new medium on the basis of the author’s thesis about several meanings of the concept world music and cultural and musical layers that they reflect.
