National Geographic Debuts World Music Site


With apologies to Rob Fleming from "High Fidelity," I admit a shameless love for world music -- not just soukous, and not just whatever world music trend is trendy this week. I like it all, or at least I'm willing to give it a try. That's why I love perusing magazines like Global Rhythm and Songlines, and why I'm glad to see National Geographic has launched a world music website, complete with downloads, podcasts and good overviews of genres from around the world, from Rai to Reggae to Roma to Rumba. The site will be a fine addition to the Charlie Gillett show, which plays great stuff every week and which you can listen to online, and Afropop Worldwide, which you can only hear if you're lucky enough to have a local station that carries it. 08/24/06 >> go there
