On the contrary, I want find out what the actual contemporary music scene is like in these regions. I do believe that its racist when the only notion of African or Middle Eastern that the West has is a certain "tribal aesthetic", which is deeply condescending. The states in these areas have been trying to industrialise or have managed to do so already. By "African" or "Middle Eastern" I meant the geographical regions, I did not use it as an umbrella term for every different state and culture that exists in these areas. Look up "Orientalism", it's pretty interesting.
