Hey Guys,
An Italian friend of mine turned me on to Zucchero a couple of years ago. He has an amazing voice and has a unique style that mixes blues, rock and jazz. He's been around for a long time and he just released a new "best of" album.I found some links for his songs on the web, check them out. Let me know what you think...

I'm not sure, but I suspect it's somehow related to terrorism.

By definition, any music from outside of your country must be "international" so I guess we're all (unless extremely narrow in our tastes) fans of international music.

Some of my faves:

Polish Folk (I don't own any though)
Manu Chao etc
Spanish Guitar
American Soft Rock (only kidding here)

Indian flutes, celtic flutes, easy listening music.

Shouldn't international be something including more than one nation? I'd say any music from outside of your country would be foreign music.

Yes, that's what I was thinking. Or mixing different cultures in some other way, e.g. a composer using elements of traditional Japanese music as well as traditional Western music in his compositions.

Maybe. So Manu Chao's contributions to Amadou and Mariam's album "Dimanche a Bamako" would be international music? But Manu Chao "La Radiolina" would be foreign music?

Over here we call the genre "World Music" i.e. Music from around the world. The radio show I hear some on focuses mainly on Africa (e.g. Tinariwen etc), Europe (but not necessarily UK - e.g. Ojos de Brujo) and the Americas. There is some crossover (e.g. Salsa Celtica) but these aren't classified any differently.

The example given is Zuchero - a solo artist? 😕
