Actually Yorick & Jerome, we have many many tapes of Yemeni & Egyptian music (ever heard of Um Kulthum?)

Why limit ourselves to the same old boring stuff that airs on the radio or MTV??
Yorick, I'll be very interested to hear your next cd. I'm betting there will be multiple cultural influences in your new songs. Am I right? 
And *YIPPEEEEE* to the possible posting of Mongolian music at Stealthy's.

I've been into some of the music Peter Gabriels "Real World" music label has put out for some time. Some has included Yemeni music actually. Also into Afro-Celt, which combines trad. Celtic and North African music styles and players.
World music definitely has a freshness to it for sure.
Not sure what the story is with 'Hat-Baby'. It's damn catchy though, I keep singing it in my head...arrrg!.
Very strange.
