And where to discuss AMM?

Here and Now

or possibly

There and Then

i regard "Classical" as shorthand for European based Art music, but World Music can include Classical music of a non European background like Indian Ragas, Flamenco, fusions like Afro Jazz and local variants of pop like Moroccan hip hop or Japanese reggae - used, perhaps misused, as a term for folk and "rest of the world" music.

- really needs several Boards to accommodate "it".

Yes, stuff like this you mean?

I'm no authority on which music fits which description. I don't have any personal definition of Classical music. Im pointing out what I THINK the more open minded than the "Orchestral music at the Town Hall every week" people think Classical music means.

It would be daft to regard different boards as definitive but as guides they are useful

Blimey - all these people who want to politicize what Classical music means

[Globaltruth]

Equally I have no interest in Jazz, other than by people who have the surname Coltrane, with whom jazz began and finished.
What on earth do the people on the jazz board find to talk about the rest of the time?
I completely respect their right to do it in their own corner anyway...

Yes, I've been told recently elsewhere that World Music as a label/genre is defunct (yet numerous artist, record labels and publications seem not to have grasped this) and yes, the old point about 'all music is of this world' has been made before probably by the same sort of people who are making it now .
So what?
Anything wrong with a silly name? Quite happy to change it, but the necessary endless debate would probably mean my total senility would have arrived before agreement was reached.
Eh? What agreement?
I forget...

Surely sometimes, just sometimes, it's perfectly permissible to leave things as they are? For as long as poss anyway.

What's the reason to make a change?

Logical and lexical semanticists may wring the end part of their arm beyond the wrist which includes the palm, fingers, and thumb, in despair along with those mythical purists...
As we always say on the WM boaard... (should be 'muzyka' not 'zycia' really)

World music is about as useful or accurate a label as Pop music.

Probably best just to get used to it...

I think for me it was probably about 1950!
