The Problem Isn't Not Expanding Horizons.....

I'm one who happens to champion expanding horizons.....

The problem is not being aware of the existence of potential horizons..... For every one I am aware of, there may be hundreds that I'm not..... I could have spent days, weeks, months on the web, and not find what you just listed. (And if I did see what you listed, the names alone are amongst thousands. I wouldn't have a clue which are the gems. I may have already overlooked a lot. Sampling music takes time.)

To give you an idea, let's say I didn't have the roommate I had, and this discovery (link) never happened. I'd probably be whining and groaning about the lack of decent music today even worse than I've been doing. Yet based on the stereotypes and musical exposure, I never would have imagined this kind of music being performed in that part of the world. (I've heard too much out-of-tune ranchero on the radio. And I do get strange reactions when I tell people my favorite recent rock artist is from Mexico.) It would have been a horizon that I never knew existed, and never imagined existing.

There may be 20 other artists like that. But if there are, I haven't been able to find them. Then again there may not be any. I don't know.

So as far as I'm concerned, posts like yours are like gold..... Please, list some more....

By the way, the state of the music industry is based on what most people are aware of. There are too many walls out there.
