irishenglish English folk is 'world music'? (78* d) RE: English folk is 'world music'? 20 Oct 09


To Guest-well thank you. I was there when the announcement came that Tower was offically liquidated, but moved on to a non music related job, where I still am 3 years later. As I have said on here before, I lament Tower not for the job (which was poor paying), but for what is now lost for the most part. Luckily in NYC we still have J&R, probably the closest thing to a Tower, as well as small independents...but I'm not always up for that-searching through stacks and stacks of vinyl or cd's...sometimes you just want to go to a section, and find what you want. To everyone else, I think the point has been successfully made that to someone in a country other than Britain, the traditional music, or traditional inspired music of England is fittingly, world music. Some see that as a label, but I see it as where it does belong. My point about Tower Records for one thing was meant to show that it could in fact live happily next to African music and Irish music, and Cuban music, as Cajun and Native American, etc music probably does in a record store in Buenos Aires.
