		Ever since World Music emerged as a useful marketing concept back in 1987, conspiracy theorists have wasted energies on criticising it.
		In the New York Times last October, rock star David Byrne penned a feature titled 'Why I Hate World Music.' "In my experience, the use of the term world music is a way of dismissing artists or their music as irrelevant to one's own life," he avowed.
		All of this was very far from the thoughts of those who instigated the short-term marketing plan that resulted in World Music becoming a 'genre'.

	LuaKa BoP: David Byrne
		In my experience, the use of the term world music is a way of dismissing artists or their music as irrelevant to one’s own life.
		And what is exciting for me is that they have taken elements of global (Western?) music apart, examined the pieces to see what might be of use and then re-invented and reassembled the parts to their own ends.
		This interest in music not like that made in our own little villages (Dumbarton, Scotland, and Arbutus, Md., in my own case) is not, as it’s often claimed, cultural tourism, because once you’ve let something in, let it grab hold of you, you’re forever changed.
