It made my blood run cold when I first heard it, it still does now and it always will,&quot; he says. &quot;At Honest Jon&#39;s, we have long been aware of cooler, rougher and younger strands of music emerging. They are not perceived as authentic, but at the same time they&#39;re not deadened by the &#39;world music&#39; tag. This music is interesting and difficult to pigeonhole. It&#39;s impossible to predict, but in ten years I don&#39;t think the term will exist.&quot;<br /></p></blockquote><p>- <a href="http://www.newstatesman.com/200804100036">International Front</a> by Rahul Verma, New Statesman, 04.10.08<br /> </p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://negroplease.vox.com/library/post/speakeasy-take-your-world-music-and-shove-it.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00c10e0f6f1fd3b400f48cefe17e0002?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> speakeasy world music rahul verma new statesman
