WOMEX is the annual worldwide world music industry expo, something like a SXSW or CMJ for world music moguls, musicians, pundits and enthusiasts. If you want to learn about new artists, new trends, new happenings in the worlds of world music, WOMEX is the place to be.
This week Rob and two fellow travelers post-mortem WOMEX 2010, held October 27-31 in Copenhagen, playing the music and sharing the scuttlebutt: Gerald Seligman, whose impressive CV includes stints as WOMEX General Director, label honcho (he launched the EMI Hemispheres imprint), music journalist and even FMU DJ; and Olivier Conan, proprietor of the esteemed Park Slope music spot Barbes and record label of the same name (which has just released its second great vintage Amazonian surf cumbia comp, Roots of Chicha 2), and bandleader of acclaimed Chicha Libre - who played a prestigious showcase at WOMEX 2010 - as well as Las Rubias del Norte.

like it wasn't "authentic" enough for you, not "aboriginal" enough. the musician got offended, and you guys seemed a little unclear on why. the awkardness could have been avoided, maybe, if he'd been informed beforehand that y'all wanted him to play the part of a museum exhibit. if aboriginal musicians want to Sting it up, so what? how is it your business to tell them that's not an authentic "aboriginal" aesthetic aim? | |
