Re: demand for "authentic" ethnic

No, thank you!
Seeking for authenticity is like seeking for purism - the most sterile
approach to any language, and especially to music. Great art is always
shamelessly borrowing and eclectic.  However, when it gets recognized as
individual style or unique tradition it somehow gains its own authenticity.
Give-and-take process makes and an endless dialectic.
