Dance Magic Dance Dance Revolution
If you're just joining us and wondering who the lovely, if racially ambiguous, woman is in the photo in the previous entry, or if you've been here a while, know my taste in music, and hope vainly that maybe this time I've actually found something decent, you can hear samples of, or purchase, music by Sevara Nazarkhan over at Calabash Music. Which seems to be the EMusic/iTunes of the World Music set; 99 cents per song, or 20 songs/downloads for $9.99 with a new membership.
I've suggested in the past that people disgusted with the (lack of) quality of pop music here in the States might, possibly, look elsewhere. Oddly, most of them would rather listen to the same crap and whine about it. Go figure.
Anyone else a member, and have some suggestions on what I should use the rest of my 20 on? Right now, I'm just wandering around (the World [Music]) somewhat aimlessly.
Which actually isn't a bad thing to do.
Update: More on Sevara at Silk Road still a melting pot for Music, an entry at the very much not de-funked world music advocate, Calabash's Typepad hangout. They've been all over the denials of visas for Cuban musicians recently, if you're interested in that sort of thing.
Their motto?
imagine a world where everyone sings and dances and celebrates music each day. . .
Which isn't a bad thing either.
