Le tour du monde en musique de Cliff Furnald.
Musicien, compositeur, journaliste, animateur radio mais surtout passionné de musique et pionnier de l’internet, Cliff Furnald crée le magazine online RootsWorld dès 1993, à l’heure où certains d’entre nous commençaient à peine à comprendre le fonctionnement d’un minitel. C’est aussi le moment où le mot "world" apparait comme représentant un certain type de musique. Un terme que jamais personne n’a réussi à définir d’une manière satisfaisante.
Cliff ne prétend pas mieux faire en terme de définition. Il souhaite simplement attirer l’attention du public sur des artistes répartis sur tous les continents et dont les notes s’enracinent dans un terroir fécond et multidisciplinaire.
Après avoir été viré de plusieurs magazines pour insubordination, il ouvre une boutique en ligne de disques rares. C’est en partie avec les recettes générées qu’il réussit à produire toutes les semaines un programme radio de qualité, alternant folk, gospel, musiques afro-cubaines, latines, asiatiques...
Cheers !
