It's fairly easy in Paris to get to listen to music from all over the world if you're interested. The "World Music" business is highly developed and covers a wide range of styles and origins. For instance, a lot of African musicians have actually lived, or are living, in Paris, and there are a lot of gigs from musicians from everywhere (mostly Africa, Europe of course, the Middle East and South America).
