Cover echoes north-western genre of music (6)
I believe the answer is:
enwrap
'cover' is the definition.
(enwrapping is a kind of covering)
'echoes north-western genre of music' is the wordplay.
'echoes north' becomes 'en' (this might be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'western' becomes 'w'.
'genre of music' becomes 'rap' (I've seen this in another clue).
'en'+'w'+'rap'='ENWRAP'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for enwrap that I've seen before include "put in package" , "Absorb" , "Cover (with paper, etc)" , "Cover completely" , "Envelop, enfold" .)
