Wednesday 11/10, the Ark is having a show by local kora player
Mady Kouyate. I'll have a few more shows to point at later, and
I should also write about what a kora is... (Think: African
harp/lute type thing built on a large gourd.)
The November & December Ark calendar is pretty much stripped bare
of non-resident foreigners. There's one Canadian on the list,
Jane Siberry. But the two African shows are by Michigan residents;
the Celtic shows are by Americans, or in one case a Scottish expatriate
now living in California.
FRoots magazine, in a recent editorial, mentioned in passing that the
USA world music business is getting hit badly by the difficulties in
getting visas for touring musicians. No tours means very little
publicity, and that in turn means falling CD sales.
The Ark is filling its schedule with way too many singer-songwriters,
probably because they have to.

To Ken it is, though if more people supported singer-songwriters, we might
avoid more of the sort of crap represented by "bands" and "artists" like Blue,
Daniel Benningfield, Justine Fairycake (Timberlake), post-Titanic-era Celine
Dion, et al.
