What I HATE about all this multicultural/world music bullshit, is that
more often than not, the final prodcut is just an example of tokenism and
not a result of a complete interest or immersion in any particular
culture.
It's like, 'oh gee, thanks for including a little tiny piece of MY
CULTURE into your overwhelmingly boring western piece of music - I feel
so.. ..represented..'.
And please don't use Peter Gabriel or Paul Simon or Philip Glass as
counter-examples - I'm talking particularly about our contemporaries -
youngish dance/electronic artists (and that new-age Keyboard-magazine
fodder crap).
