Morphology
The adjective 'live' (happening/performing right now) combined with 'music' yields a directly compositional meaning: music performed in real time rather than pre-recorded. This adj+noun pattern is cross-linguistically common and immediately inferable by a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The term live music comes from the simple image of live performers playing music right in front of an audience, not 'pre-recorded'. So, it means music played directly for people watching or listening.
