Yes, another thread for "our Amy"
But I saw this:
BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Winehouse leads Mobo nominations
To quote from the MOBO website:
Also, I notice that Joss Stone is nominated.The MOBO Awards were launched in 1996 as the 1st black awards show in Europe.
Is MOBO going mainstream then?
"Music of Black Origin" ? that'll be absolutely everything then
Hardly, humans originated in Africa after all...
Um, not quite. At one time Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was a significant figure in British music, now somewhat neglected in concert repertoire.
And Dvorak did claim that some of the melodies in his works (like theNew World Symphony) were based on spirituals he'd heard during his visits to the USA. So there's a case for the most famous Czech composer producing "music of black origin".
You lot know (and think) too much
