The 'culturename' parameter is used for assigning pages to categories, and should be the adjectival form of the region name. For example, if the region is China, culturename should be Chinese; if the region is Africa, culturename should be African. If there are any doubts, check Category:Music by country, Category:Music by region or Category:Music by continent for the correct word to use.
