Today is World Music Day. Yet another western labelling exercise. Apparently any non-western music is World Music. And so, by extension, Western music is Unworld Music. Really.

These labels get me all sarcastic. Anyway, Galatta has some new downloads for this occasion. By the way BBC (which I am partial to) has details on the World Music Awards for 2006 online now.

So I should be saying Happy World Music Day dear readers.

About me

  • I'm Echo/Lavanya
  • From Chennai, India
  • So, we are curious now? My folks named me Lavanya, and it does have a meaning. I named myself Echo, for this blog. And that has a meaning too. Therefore, I have more than one name; I can walk; I can talk; I can read; I can even write; I can count - 9 'I's already and that is absolutely disgusting; I can also lie about numbers. Do you need to hear more?
