Title: refer to it carefully
Product review: I've been going through a few books recently on "world music" and because of its compact information, this book seemed to be "buyable". However, going through a few informations, I am not only confused about the language ("Germany has produced precious little world music..."), but also about the accuracy as one of the readers here mentioned before: i.e.: "When it comes to world music, however, Japan is not a major player. With the exception of Okinawa." If so, what is with bunraku, kabuki, even ainu etc.? (You can argue here, what the author considers 'world music' (see foreword)) Furthermore, the recommendations for recordings seem to be not up to date.Sorry, for being a bit picky, but the two stars is for a general good and helpful concept, but this book lacks - as I said - here and there precise informations and a non-centristic attitude in writing.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
