As a musician, I have engaged in cultural appropriation on a regular basis for decades. I have joyfully appropriated blues and reggae and jazz, even klezmer music on the rare occasion it has been on the sonic menu. I even remember a time when musical appropriation from all corners of the globe became a genre, we called it "World Music" and all the new agers thought it was the greatest thing and Paul Simon and Peter Gabriel were masters of the form.

And don't get me started on food. LOL

nothing more fun than experimenting with different things in the fridge ! thanks to Mexican, Indian, and many other immigrants (I am originally from Belgium) for spicing up the bland cooking of Georgia USA.
