I can’t believe that I don’t know a single member of ABBA. 12. I’ll bet that not many people listed Shimabukuro, but, for the life of me, I couldn’t think of anyone else. Spinal Tap is British. I’m not sure Weird Al counts, despite his tours in Japan. And my long-ago ex’s long-since-broken-up band probably won’t win me any points. I don’t remember what those guys called themselves, anyway. ---

> [@WormTheRed](#): > > Enya, since it was the first result that came up (that I recognized) when I googled “world music” + artist Fair enough. She’s Irish and her music is not identified with a particular part of the world, so I wouldn’t classify her as World Music myself, but it’s no big deal. Actually, I’m not sure I’d classify her as music. 😉 ---
