- There was reference here to genuine musics from cultures of Africa as
- being both interesting in themselves and perhaps more inspiring to
- some composers than cuisinarted "African-influenced" music (which
- appeared in classical circles in the '20s, I think...).

- Over time I've heard and been fascinated by traditional musics from Tibet,
- Japan, Bulgaria, and many other places, including my own indigineous Jewish
- culture. I highly recommend the Balinese "Kecak" as a listening experience
- which modifies one's usual image of Indonesian music when all one has heard
- is the melifluous tones of the gamelan. Kecak is now available as a 55-minute
- CD.
