GoGirls Elite Interview with Hobbyhorse
February 18, 2008, 09:41:54 by Katie in Music Dish.
Artists like Annie and Phil of Hobbyhorse, go that extra mile to help themselves, while helping others. It makes it worthwhile to volunteer myself to work as hard as I do, in this overly crowded industry of self-centeredness - when you have the opportunity to find those special people that really do care about their fellow artists. When they are genuine about it... it's all the more pleasurable. Thanks Hobbyhorse! Annette Warner - Editor, GoGirlsMusic

Mambo Mariachi Rock turned into One World on Share My Love
February 18, 2008, 09:23:12 by Katie in Indie Scene.
The term "one world," as it applies to music, makes one think of vapid New Age background sounds. This is where musicians take little exotic bits of music from Third World countries and turn rich cultural legacies into fast food sounds with no distinction and a wisp of the original flavor. It wasn't always this way. Back in your crazy Uncle's day - the 70's, the decade that will never die - bands like War, Mandrill and Santana had no trouble mixing the music that they heard and loved with their own cultural roots. Mandrill, in particular, was consciously created - personnel-wise - to include members with Latin and Caribbean roots to go with as black Americans and one of their psychedelic, white, hippie friends. These artists took the beat of the streets - jazz, soul, Caribbean and Mexican music into their hearts, minds and souls - and came out as a nice hybrid that took the fire and guts of these different music strands and not just the surfaces.
