Friday Reading Room on World Music
Let's go thru the old musty bins of things that are yellowed, tattered, and dogeared:
Music appropriation or approbation (an oldie, but it's still a topic of discussion)
The Cambridge Companion to Blues and Gospel
(an old book alert)
Refried Elvis: The Rise of the Mexican Counterculture
Technobeat. Nice resource! Bob Tarte examines and describes the here and now of world music releases. (And still does!)
