Americana refers to artifacts of the culture of the United States. Examples of this culture include baseball, apple pie, jazz, Superman, the Diner, George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, the music of Aaron Copland (notably his Fanfare for the Common Man), and American folk art, such as that of Norman Rockwell.
Americana is Don De Lillo's first novel, published in 1971. The narrator, David Bell, was a television executive in the late sixties, and in the novel he is looking back at those times from some 30 years in the future. Note that in republications of the book since 1989, several pages were edited from the original text by DeLillo.
Americana is a loose subset of American roots music, that is perhaps best defined as "classic American music" — ranging in style from folk, country blues, bluegrass, alternative country, rockabilly, neotraditional and roots rock. Americana music is one of the focuses of the bi-monthly U.S. magazine No Depression.
