The Mozart effect might be a wing of the Eurocentric putdown of popular music--if the effect could be produced :-)

Fver since there was talk about the Mozart effect,I became suspicious
that this was just another one of those Eurocentric cognitive
imperialistic paradigm aimed at putting down popular music
(jazz,rock.rap.hip hop
and so on) .The reality is that babies are more exposed and surrounded
by sounds that are far removed from anything that sounds like Mozart .
It would seem to me bluegrass would be more appropriate for certain
regions of the country as well as rap music.
