Do you enjoy world music? So do I. I
used to work in our nation's capital, Washington, D.C. There were two
music stores within walking distance from my job, and they were a
favorite place to spend my one hour for lunch break. Haven't been in
D.C. since 1995 and the name of the stores escape me. But I do
remember that they both had a wonderful world music section. In Texas, when we
used to subscribe to cable TV, there was a show called “Musical
Passport” that we watched often. Took you all around the world
showcasing great music!
Currently I work from home so I don't
get out much to browse the stores any more. Also, we no longer have
cable TV. Sure I could shop online but don't always know who to look
for. My significant other combs YouTube and finds all kinds of new
artists. But I don't have the patience to do that. I have however,
stumbled across a blog that specializes in introducing its readers to
musical artists from around the world: Germany, Greece, Mali, South
Africa, Canada, Hungary, France, Caribbean and on and on and on. You
can search this site by names of artists, by countries and/or by genres.
As of March 2017, it had over 4000 followers. Their posts date back to 2011. The last post is dated December 2015. They have so much variety, it makes me dizzy. But I love it!! Why
don't you visit? If you love world music, you'll love this blog!
