Subject: RE: Globalisation of Folk Music
Thanks, GUEST. It also just occurred to me that I only ever knew one Tunisian bagpiper, who was a guy I went to school with in NYC (believe it or not!) He did not play any sort of traditional Tunisian bagpipes, but rather Highland pipes--and he wore a kilt while doing it! Apparently, globalization had already hit the Tunisian bagpipe scene by the early 1980s!
