Living At The End Of The World - a-ha with subtitles in Spanish.

As this group is called World Music it encompasses music and musical genres from all around the world and it has struck me more than once how music really does have an interconnectivity, bringing people from completely different continents and cultures together. When I listen to certain artists whom I particularly enjoy I am aware that there are others from far flung parts of the world who are also listening and enjoying the same music. Any of you who have ever been to a music concert of any popular artist or band will realise that the fan base can be really diverse in nationality and age, with people travelling to the other side of the world in order to hear their favourites live. My own favourite band is a-ha, whom I’ve seen live a few times but only when they’ve been performing in the UK or Ireland, however for the first time I will be travelling to Norway to see them at their home venue in Oslo in November, and I know there will be fans from far further places there too, especially from South America where they are one of the most popular bands. I find that fascinating...that a Scandinavian band who sing in English can have had such an enduring appeal on a continent at the other end of the world.
