Covering The Coverage: New York Times Introduces You To “World Music.”
29 June 2007, 11:00 AM. By Cindy Casares
Summer’s here and it’s time for outdoor, world music concerts and White people with dreadlocks. In anticipation, the New York Times features a cutting edge trendpiece that reads like a political primer for middle-American retards:
This summer, world music floods into New York City, introducing audiences to music with lower commercial profiles….This summer’s world music concerts include…Brazilian songwriter Carlinhos Brown…and the Mexican rock superstars Café Tacuba. And…this summer also brings a rare event like the July 21 SummerStage concert of music by 12 acts from Sudan, which is now torn by civil war and genocide.
Genocide? Is there a Putumayo tribute album we can buy to learn more? Better head to Starbucks and find out.

Lower commercial profiles? What a tool. Next year the author will no doubt write about this as-yet-unheard-of music called “reggaeton”.
word on the white-man dreadlocks. saw plenty of those at summerstage today.
but HEY NOW on the putumayo album. i’m a bit of a hater, but only because i used to work there and can be. putumayo has NEVER sold their albums in starbucks. just the guanabees. jejjejje. pa que sepan.
Reggaeton is the worse music I have ever heard. The first time I heard I started laughing. I thought it was a joke.
