Re: "World" music

That's quite a link Mossy..(quite a link you got there big boy...)

It goes through a fascinating history of music for a number of years, but this nugget was toward the beginning:

"The term became current in the 1980s as a marketing/classificatory device in the media and the music industry, and it is generally used to classify any kind of "foreign" (i.e. non-Western) music."

Lazy, I say.....

"Zoocore" is a great name under one condition...you have to pronounce it

Zoh oh karet
