# Woohoo! Bouzouki solo!

# Speaking of bouzouki solos
My favourite solo of all time is 3 Mustaphas 3's bouzouki and synth solo on Shouffi Rirou.
Edit - Here it is www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBQj960wHKE
It's fantastic. I bought the album from a 2nd hand record shop, not knowing the music, purely because I liked the cover.

# Random purchases can be very interesting...
(or a complete waste of money)

Come across some really good stuff over the years as a result of just going with special offers, or "ooh! that looks nice".

Saw these guys live a few years back. One seriously laid back gig. The guy on lead guitar has a really neat style (kind of reminds me of The Spotniks, but slower).

And this was a recomendation from a guy who just happened to be hanging around the world section about the same time:

# I like that second one a lot
I despise the term "world music" though

# Yes, a product of the unfortunate need to categorise everything into nice convenient boxes
I've often thought it might be better just going from A to Z, but the categories do at least have the virtue of making some good stuff easier to find.

# I don't mind the idea of categories as such
It's just the term "world", when it's really just folk music that isn't British or Irish in origin basically. And folk is a much better term for it.

# That depends...
what a particular artist is playing may not be regarded as folk music in their own country, so that term becomes inaccurate. What people like Youssou N'Dour or Salif Keita do is more likely to be seen as pop music in their respective countries, for example.

"World music" is one of those terms that came about by accident, as I recall. Something someone said in passing that just stuck as a catch-all for anything we don't already have a name for. Not that any of the terms we have can be terribly accurate at times. I mean, Bellowhead became the first English act to appear at Womad in the UK when they had played Womad in other places around the world. So they were "world" when they're outside the UK, but "folk" when they're here. It's all a bit silly really, but then, not much we can do about it.
