ROCK / WORLD MUSIC: 'And tomorrow the world'
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Now and then the jaded English palate
Hungers for a more exotic sound
Spreads its numerous tendrils on the planet
And wraps them round.
Record shops resemble now a deli
Halva, humus, brisling or ricotta
Something foreign for your soul or belly
Ofra Haza? Yes we've got her.
Clothing problems in the bars of London
Dancing to Les Negresses Vertes or Pogues
What to wear: the Andes hat and blanket?
Or djellaba and brogues?
Gherkins from Bulgaria then voices
Amazon guarana then its pipes
Did you spill my psycho-active drink pal?
Wild boys these media types.
Africa - a warning with each soundtrack
Do not try these rhythms out at home
See you at the world percussion workshop
Bring a coke tin and a comb.
After this a concert on the Koto
Followed by some wind flutes from Bolivia
Andy Kershaw, many now will blame you
Some of us forgivia.
