Hey! Thanks for checkin' out my blog! :-)
Aight...The aim of this blog is pretty simple. I love to learn about the world and explore the diversity of cultures, customs, traditions, languages, forms of expression, etc that exist all over the globe. To me, there is nothing more powerful than music to illustrate and expresses both the profound diversity and common experiences of human beings all over the world............. Now that I’ve gotten the “I’m so deep and philosophical” part out of the way... I also think that whether you listen quietly, nod your head, shake your groove thang, or try to sing along... jamming to new music from around the world is just plain fun!
So... I hope you’ll enjoy my sometimes deep, sometimes fun, hopefully always interesting blog about international music and musings!
About Me
- Karima
- I'm your average young woman inspired to learn about the world through music and cultural exchange. For my "official" bio (whatever that means) please see below: Growing up in Chicago with a musical and multi-cultural background, Karima became impassioned to learn about the world via international artistic exchange, specifically music and media. She's spent time traveling and doing projects in Europe, North Africa, and the South Pacific Islands and is currently living near Marseille, France working as an English Language Teaching Assistant. While in college in Illinois, Karima created the position of World Music Director at WVKC 90.7 FM, Knox College’s radio station and spent 4 years producing her weekly radio show “World Kaleidoscope”, in addition to producing international concerts. She was also extremely active in cultural organizations on campus and was chosen for the Knox College Houston-Haring Award, given to the senior student most dedicated to promoting international understanding on campus. From there she’s worked with such Chicago institutions as the Old Town School of Folk Music and the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs organizing events relating to world music.
Hello Karima, great to see you decide to start up a blog! It's always something I've wanted to do, but still can never get around to it, so props to you! So my name is Garrett and I am with a World Music promotions firm. Our basic motto is connecting cultures through music. So, I'm guessing we might be able to give you a ton of good content that might be right down your alley. Would it be possible for you to shoot me an e-mail so maybe we can discuss this further?
ReplyDeleteI'd love to talk more!
Thanks,
