World Beats

Simon Broughton, editor of world music magazine "Songlines" and a specialist in many kinds of folk music, is interviewed, commenting on a range of topics, including: 1) Hungarian folk music; 2) how Béla Tolcsvai began his interest in that music; 3) the dance house or táncház movement; 4) how Gypsies have aided in keeping Hungarian folk music alive; 5) how folk music is bound up with the language of its specific country; and 6) his definition of world music.
