bus station music

[Judith R Cohen <judithc...>]

hi, thanks for the link to the article on Mizrakhi music. Some years ago
in the "EthnoFolk Letters" column (which I'd invented) of the Canadian
Folk music Society Bulletin, I published a brief note on bus station
music and the effects on "musica cassetot" distribution of closing the
old Tel Aviv bus station and opening up a gleaming new one not conducive
to "musica kassetot" stands. I don't think it's on line, but can look
around if anyone likes. Actually, I remember the first ethnomusicology
conference I attended in Israel, in '88, and how daring and innovative a
serious paper on mizrakhi music was seen to be. Judith
