Furthermore, we studied other techniques to improve the classification results, for example, features combination by mean of early and late fusion methods. To run the experiments were created three lyrics database in various music genres into the Latin languages (Portuguese and Spanish), Nordic (Danish, Norwegian and Swedish) and En- glish.
