@gbengakolawole You guys are really united. I wish it was the same here in South Asia, and generally, Asia.

I want my kids to understand that great classical music is not JUST European in origin.....its worldly! Its magic from all places.

How strange! I had the pleasure of getting to meet Ron Wyman today after watching his documentary "Agadez" at my university's guest lecture at our African Studies Center. His filming is stunning and you can tell he really gives thought to the way he weaves the music and visuals together. Thanks for sharing this.
