Artist Description
|
From the Penguin Encyclopedia of Popular Music: ’The World’ was Dissidenten’s main musical subject long before such ideas floated into fashion. For more than 30 years their projects have ranked not only among the most innovative multicultural collaborations but they also figure among the most groundbreaking contributions to the development of today’s popular music.
Since the term ‘World Music’ entered the music lexicon in the early 1980s their name has been synonymous with and at the forefront of ‘World Music’. After all, it was the Rolling Stone that dubbed Dissidenten “Godfathers of World-Beat” long before the term became popular.
