Putamayo - what a fantastic label. And the Putamayo kids CDs are just as good.

One of the things I love about listening to "foreign" (to me) music is the fascination of realizing the magic of language.  I recognize that I am listening to sounds that to other people convey sights, smells, textures, meaning and emotion.  And that is awe-inspiring to me.  Life is good.

One of my favorite things about RP is the exposure to so many different kinds of music that are otherwise almost invisible to us in white America.  Keep it up, Bill & Becky!  If anything, give us more music from Africa, India, Asia, the Middle East, South America, the islands...OMG, there is such a fabulously rich banquet of music out there!
 
Yup. I'll second that. Variety and eclecticism are the essential components of RP that keep me listening every day. Vive l'eclecticisme!

True, but it's a little sad that it seems there's only one label bringing "World Music" to the "West".  Considering how much incredible music is produced out there in the world, and Western labels are still getting away with feeding us crud like Joan Osbourne and Id Guinness?  hmmf.

Even RP, who play a vast amount more 'world' music than most, hasn't tapped into the absolutely beautiful stuff done in China - and no, I'm not talking about that peculiar, squeaky Chinese opera - Chinese orchestral music is often heartbreakingly beautiful.   There are massive regions of the musical world that we never get to visit unless we really stretch.  And as I'm really, really idle, I find that upsetting :D

I am a new RP listener and supporter.  I am amazed at the quality of most of the music that RP plays, most of which I haven't heard; and this song is a delightful part of that.
I want to say too that I have never in my life been able to listen to a single radio station for hours, but that is exactly what I find myself doing with RP!  It is like finding a new and wonderful friend in the world.  I am very pleased to make your acquaintance!

It's a shame politics ruined this year's event. Maybe they will be able to move it to South America as rumored, but it just won't be the same.
