We started the World Music Collider series in Western Mass to explode the old concept of “world music” and replace it with a new kind of party for a transnational, borderless world. That awkward dynamic, of the audience as impartial observers to the exotic… Let it be annihilated on the postmodern dance floor, with a clearly articulated thesis for intercultural collision: each of us are living in our own little backwater unless we check out each other’s fiestas. The line you often hear is deeply true: Music is a universal language.
