Hello everyone....can I ask you to consider whether the music you are posting in this group is different enough from the mainstream to consider it World Music. I think there are sufficient other music groups which cover the well known artists and bands from the American/British, mainly English speaking music market, that can accommodate these posts, so can we keep this group for other parts of the world, International, not the domestic mainstream. Other languages, continents and cultures can be explored here, they wouldn’t fit so well in any of the other music groups. I thank you for your co-operation in this respect.

….and human beings have been making it in some form or another from earliest times.
I debated about joining when I saw Tears for Fears was posted.

I try to discourage members of the group from posting the well known hits from British and US groups and singers…but the odd one or two do slip through. Frankly I was surprised it was posted by Roger because it’s far from his typically esoteric post of either medieval church, baroque, or folk music!
Everyone regardless of where they are from, can understand the universal language of music that transcends all barriers.

Good luck in that quest!
I just submitted a piece that could be in numerous categories. The music group seems to be expanding and getting more complicated. Sure you want me here???

I’ve just taken a look...don’t really think it’s a great fit here, but leave it this time. I think if you also post it in the general forum under the heading of Music, Movies, Books it nay reach a wider audience,
@Marionville Just like life this site is getting complicated. General; on the main page or general under general topics or general forum? There are also several music groups as well???
@JackPedigo Just click on posts..not in any specific groups, just on the main page and after type your text and post the video you will be asked to select a category...click on Music, Movies, Books and it will be shown in the main feed for that category...it’s separate from all the music groups which you have to join, the main forum is open to everyone to make posts.
Does Afro-Cuban qualify as World Music? And Arab Jazz?

Yes...it’s not UK/US mainstream music ...so can be considered world music,
@Marionville Thanks. Glad you stepped in as Mod by the way 
@Red_Cat I inherited the group...and a few others, but I’m happy to do it,
@Marionville just listened to Mayito Rivera on another thread...what a fantastic way to answer my own question. I hope GipsyOfNewSpain finds his 50 year-old version.
@Steven_Maxwell As host I say what fits...I make the rules.
