To be honest, I'm surprised there's not a lot of world music in your show already! When PShores began, I thought we'd hear a mix of prog from that country along with world from that country. I say play it. Play that mix.
You may want to look into music that sometimes gets called "world fusion." Basically it's world-prog. What this genre entails is basically that an artist from a particular area incorcorates their native music into a rock/pop/electronica structure. Some examples are Adiemus, Sacred Spirits, and Afro-Celt Sound System.
As for the "world music vs. prog" thing, I personally have always considered "world" a subgenre of prog. Now, not pure world, like recordings of African chant. But as soon as you take African chant and add keyboards or acoustic guitar, I think you step firmly into the prog/world-fusion realm. Prog began when artists took jazz and classical and merged them with rock. I think that it's the same exact thing when someone melds world with rock - at least as a sub-genre.
Hrrrm... the next BrainRock I make will have minimum of six world-fusion pieces in it...!
