I love hearing from other World Music enthusiasts! I am indeed a real person. You can email me at paula@insideworldmusic.com.
I check the Forum regularly. Post your questions or comments and you'll get input from a variety of voices.
Before you email me, it would be a great idea to take a look at some of the questions I am asked most often.
Q. Where can I buy such-and-such album by this artist?
A. My first suggestion is to check out my Online Shopping set of Net Links. If you can't find what you are looking for there, and your local album stores don't seem to be able to order it in for you, please post your request to the Bulletin Board and perhaps someone surfing by can help you.
Q. I really need lyrics to this song -- can you help me?
A. The best thing to do here is post your request to the Forum -- I don't have archives of lyrics for every World Music artist.
Q. Bonjour! J'aime beaucoup votre site, et j'ai plusiers des questions . . .
A. Uhhh . . . thanks? Seriously -- when you write to me, please write in English. The only other language I am proficient in is French.
Q. My band has a Web site/I developed a Web site about this kind of music/this is the official site for my record company or music store . . .
A. Thank you very much for your URL submission. I will check it out and if it meets the criteria for this site I will add it to the appropriate Subject page when I do my next update.
Q. I would love for you to review my band's new album/my music company would like to put you on our mailing list?
A. Right on! A lot of the material reviewed and featured on this site was submitted from musicians or music promotion people who visit the site. Here are the submission guidelines for Inside World Music.
