Subject: RE: Black people at folk clubs
If non-caucasian folk hasn`t aquired a special term (like "Blues" or "Reggae" for instance) it is often labeled as "World music".

As for live music events (festivals or bars) this is predominantly latin-american and african, often combine with Jazz. Audiences are often mixed.

It is a different "scene" in my opinion - just like s o m e Bluegrassers don`t go to Folk events and vice versa.

This doesn`t mean that anybody going to an event of a different scene isn`t welcomed there.
