Debo admitir que no soy muy fanatico de la globalizacion, particularmente en el ambito de la cultura y la musica. En primer lugar, lo que menos necesitamos es una uniformidad general en las manifestaciones culturales y mucho menos si esta emerge a costo de los valores culturales y formas musicales y de expresion de los pueblos del mundo.
I must admit that I am not a big fan of globalization, particularly in the cultural and musical arenas. First of all, the least that we need is the standardization of cultural tendencies; even worse if this standardization is at the cost of the cultural values and musical and expression forms of the different peoples around the world.
We see with great satisfaction that globalization forces, more precisely identified as the musical tendencies of the american gettho (i.e., hip-hop), have not been able overcome the strenght of popular culture of the different peoples around the world.
In this MundoMix edition we showcase the urban sound from different parts of the world. This is music with a notable American hip-hop influence, but with the creativeness and virtuosity of 'street' artist who take the hip-hop as a basic element but mold it and mix it with their own musical and cultural elements to generate their own sounds, rhythms, and musical tendencies.
To illustrate our points above, we have music from artists such as: Choc Quib Town, Yeleen, BBK (Big Born King), Manu Chao, and Gente de Zona, among others. Urban sound from the different corners of the world.
