"World music – and especially the stuff coming out of Africa – has a bit of a bad reputation in the UK. For some reason, there's been a bit of a belief that a whole continent of 900-odd million people only produces traditional music which people with beards and sandals would like. Which is rubbish of course. It's a bit like suggesting that people from England only make Morris dancing tunes and songs that have to be played on the lute."
