Mambo Mariachi Rock turned into One World on Share My Love
by Mark Kirby, The term "one world," as it applies to music, makes one think of vapid New Age background sounds. This is where musicians take little exotic bits of music from Third World countries and turn rich cultural legacies into fast food sounds with no distinction and a wisp of the original flavor.
It wasn't always this way. Back in your crazy Uncle's day - the 70's, the decade
that will never die - bands like War, Mandrill and Santana had no trouble mixing
the music that they heard and loved with their own cultural roots. Mandrill, in
particular, was consciously created - personnel-wise - to include members with
Latin and Caribbean roots to go with as black Americans and one of their
psychedelic, white, hippie friends.
