MUSIC INDEX – WORLD MUSIC
This index includes latin, klezmer, desert blues, Afrobeat, tango, gypsy, Middle Eastern and Balkan music as well as folk music from all over the globe. For reggae and rock from outside the English-speaking world, see the Rock Music Index. Since this blog began life before shortlinks existed, please excuse how quaintly long most of these links are. Feel free to get a shortlink for any of them.
