New York City is often regarded as one of the world's major centers for music.
The music of New York City includes a wide variety of hip-hop, soul, salsa, rock and roll, punk, metal, electronic music, pop music, disco and funk and crosses all (five) borough lines. Jazz in the city is in more-isolated spots in the boroughs outside Manhattan, but is mainly concentrated in the famous Greenwich Village mecca.
The rest of the state includes cities like Albany and Buffalo, which have their own scenes in a variety of genres. Nyack, Poughkeepsie and Long Island all have strong alternative music scenes.
The state is also home to many classical symphonies, folk groups and religious choirs.
