[FA Worldmusic] terminology

[Bill Bragin]

I think there are two topics floating underneath here....

Dmitri's original one about strategies to bridge audiences..

And Ian's....what are people listening to, who have you seen recently and are excited about? (or the corollary...which emperor has no clothes.....)

Anyone?

All the best,
Bill Bragin

Not that I want to extend this particular discussion, but I think the 
veterans on the list should also respect the fact that a lot of the folks 
piping up this time around were not on the list for previous annual "what is 
world music" "'world music' sucks" discussions. In other words, there is a 
revolving door and, if anything, it may be a sign that we have newcomers 
among us... and that's a good thing.  Also, ain't it good that FA World is 
back in use as a discussion forum rather than just the occasional canned 
message?

So, fed up veterans... propose another topic?

Much respect,

===> Dmitri!
