CLICK – We Global Music Podcast#1:Keri Hilson Music Post Card

I’m listening to the radio today and the broadcaster mentions that “If you are not Irish, you shouldn’t celebrate St. Patricks Day.” More specifically Black People (she being African American herself) shouldn’t celebrate it.

Why did she come to that conclusion? She realized she didn’t have or know any music to air in celebration of the holiday and she made a quick list of “If you don’t then you shouldn’t.” For example:

1. If you don’t know about the culture, you shouldn’t celebrate St. Pats
2. If you don’t know anything about the music, you shouldn’t celebrate St. Pats
3. If you have never experienced any of the food (which goes alon with culture) you shouldn’t celebrate St. Pats.

Most people in our world find any excuse to have a party and dance and drink and have a good time. And I think that’s quite alright.

True, if you don’t know anything about a Holiday then maybe you shouldn’t fake the funk and it would be nice to do a little research.

But like I said, if your having a good time celebrating whatever your celebrating at least you know one thing.

Good Times are Universal.

In the spirit of good times (and African Americans celebrating St. Pats), here’s AFRO CELT SOUND SYSTEM:

Afro Celt fuses dance, ambient, trip hop music with the cultural sounds of African & Celtic beats and rhythms.

Hiromi: Classical Piano’s answer to modernization and known as a Jazz sensation.

She begins the tune in its traditional form as the notes perk your memory of the songs melody. Then as you get used to familiarity, her fingers enter in a more unique sound. You start to hear sounds of a pluckier instrument. Not to dwell in that moment Hiromi moves into a jazzy beat.
