"World" Music Talk

Two sides of the same coin man.


Wouldn't the proper term just be non-American folk music? I'm guessing the Europeans on this forum don't consider Hank Williams "world music".

I don't really have any artists to contribute. I guess my music is really western-centric.

I guess not.  In a scholastic sence, I've always heard it referred to as world music.

I suppose by "proper" I meant "political correct" or "post-colonial". I just came up with the term on the spot.

I don't really think it;s a genre classification as much as it is something Americans use to refer to non-american music, as I sort of alluded to.

or did you just want to complain about music classification?...

Bud, I'm a part-time music critic. Classification is my beans on toast. I just think 'world' is a dumb genre title if ever I heard one, and I've referred to a band as 'screamo.'

Mexican stuff, check out Cafe Tacuba.  One of the best in Mexico, very wide range of styles.  Julieta Venegas is very talented as well.

For the best damn new wave around, check out Japan's Polysics.  I was very lucky to witness them live when they played on my campus and I must say they are QUITE THE SHIT.  So much fun.
