Eclecticat says:The genre of "world" music isn't really a genre at all. I think it's sort of a generic term that music bidniz folk use for things they find exotic or can't understand. I only mention this because there is a wealth of great tracks at SXSW listed as world music. One of them is this hot track from Alex Cuba.

This song rocks.
