This research proposal explores power imbalances in crossover music, examining how different cultures and countries influence and interact within this genre. By analyzing songs like 'Waka Waka' and 'Lean On,' it aims to provide educators with tools to teach about cultural tensions and ethics in music, aligning with APME's focus on diversity and inclusion.
