From the article in question:
Rokia Traore chose to play tracks by the Rolling Stones and Stevie Wonder in her recent guest slot on Charlie Gillett's radio show, rather than the likes of Kate Rusby.

Rather confirms my suspicion that world music is just pop music in foreign languages.

Ian Anderson (fRoots editor) is always going on about "local music from out there" - what about "world music from right here"?

Eliza - get those knives out - you're closest to the target, in the sense that your opinions might get published, heard or seen!
