Greetings,
I hear the term "Folkloric" more and more, Pearl now have thier "Folkloric range" And I imagine many other manufaturers will follow suit..
In my local alternative record store they now have folkloric section... Why do we refer to Rumba, which is very alive and very real, as folkloric?
Practitioners of this music and culture surely don't deem it as folklore but historical truth...?
