Hello, another school project!!! My new chosen subject is the Asian music scene in Britain (esp Bradford area). I want to look at the content of traditional music in the pop music scene and what influences have come from where. I am also interested in the nationalistic issues involved, ie affirming their heritage and traditions while being a part of another culture. The new style which is neither the music of where they are 'from'(I appreciate most of the people I will be interviewing were born and raised in Britain) nor the music of the culture they are surrounded by. A tricky topic, and I'm sure a difficult one to be completly PC about, though I am trying not to phrase things badly. I hope you get what I'm on about and have some opinions/ideas for areas of study. Thanks, Fay
