Believe me, ain't gon' happen. I've been trying to start a Hip-Hop forum for like two years, and the idea's always shot down. It's ridiculous. There are separate forums for Punk and Pop-Punk, but Hip-Hop, Classical, Folk, and Electronica have to be in the same forum.
I have not heard the New Ancient Strings record, but I know it's one of Toumani Diabate's projects, so it has to be good. Tinariwen are going to be legendary. Maybe not on this continent, but certainly on their own. Robert Plant is currently a big advocate of theirs, so maybe they'll be able to break through. He plays their newest record in the intermissions at shows with his new band.
