[FA Worldmusic] Microloans and Music in Around the World

[massmuzik at aol.com]

 Fascinating! Thanks for posting this, Steve. Times sure have changed. Back in the '80s when I was doing music research in Nicaragua, I founded the Bluefields Project and had to travel around the US making presentations for clusters of people, collecting money & resources to support a variety of Atlantic Coast cultural institutions. At least if the internet had existed, it would have that much easier. And of course I couldn't get grants because there was an embargo at that time...

Hi all!

Just wanted to let you know about this week's edition of my Around  
the World column on AOL's Spinner.com.... the topic is about linking  
music passions with direct support of the communities that make a lot  
of the music we love via the microlender web site Kiva.org.

Have a look:
