No, not Gustav but the R3 world music awards binge.

Anyone else with a more in depth knowledge of the world music scene think this is turning into a bit of a closed shop music biz marketing exercise with a small group of people wielding far too much influence ? I particularly thought the nominations for Europe dismally conservative. Mariza ( what again ? And all she released was a live album rehashing her past songs ) Ojos De Brujo ( festival rock ) and Camille ( sings in French but otherwise regular pop music ) In other categories we get Mercan Dede once more, Gotan Project, Ska Cubano, all mainstream acts with marketing potential and to me all indicative of a scene that is stagnating a little.
