Music That Migrates

We’ve been on a road music kick this week at World Hum—and we’re not the only ones. Over at Matador Nights, David Miller offers up a compelling list of musicians who have influenced travelers in the last decade.

When you travel, you come face to face (or ear to speaker) with the music that belongs to the places you go, Miller writes, but “there is also the music that seems to travel itself, migrating from one area to the next—making its way into hostels and DJ stacks, becoming part of local culture abroad, and also returning home with you.” Among his picks? Manu Chao (who’s also one of our Seven Wonders of the Shrinking Planet), Bajofondo Tango Club, Daft Punk, and the entire Marley clan.
