too true Li. two steps forward, one step back. the "Global Village" has some dark alleys and some "progressive" super highways. world music kills racism!
Kind of bittersweet: The 30th anniversary of @WOMADfestival discussion @HarbourfrontTO yesterday a reminder of how far -- and yet not -- we've come, in terms of more open ears, not to mention borders. Thanks @derekjgandrews and #SWMTO for organizing. #Womad
