Somebody listens to the Nigerian equivalent of a lesser local bar band and thinks its the greatest thing since [your favorite comparison here]. That person now considers himself an aficionado of "world" music.

It has been my experience that the degree of enthusiasm for music from a different cultural tradition is inversely proportional the enthusiastis knowledge of that tradition.

You've gotta listen to a lot of shlock before you can start to recognize it in other musical traditions.

If you're listening to music from a different musical tradition and you think "I like this. It's sort of what I am used to but a little different", why wouldn't that cause warning bells to go off?
