moocowpoo Songlines:World Music vs British music (22) RE: Songlines:World Music vs British music 01 Feb 04


Each country should produce bands which play their own traditional music, backed by electronic beats. I think then, once there was less difference between traditions and everything is homogenised by being an ingredient in a big, tasteless world soup, then!, then I think Paul morrison will be truly happy! Really though, I love bands like Afro celt sound system, Shooglenifty, B.A.R.K, Varttina but these bands are all interpreting traditional music in some way, should we just have these popular 'world' bands and eliminate the trad stuff?
For a start, they wouldn't have anything to play if there was no trad. It's also anachronus to sing about last week and paul morrison can't even remember last year!, what a terrible curse to be stuck(only) in the present. moocowpoo.
