• Encuentro una diferencia entre lo que se llama world music -una fusión de música occidental y música de diferentes culturas en una versión más modernizada- y el material de Explorer Series, que es música folclórica indígena completamente pura.

• Con algunas excepciones, como Kraftwerk, la mayor parte de la gran música occidental del siglo XX es de algún modo estadounidense. Y la gran paradoja de América, la paradoja que destila América, es que la mayor de las contribuciones americanas a la humanidad, la contribución americana que probablemente ha influido para bien en más personas de todo el mundo, la que probablemente ha proporcionado una alegría incondicional a más personas de todo el mundo, nació del mayor mal de América, la esclavitud. O uno de los dos grandes males, contando la extinción europea de los que llegaron primero al continente.
