BEATING THE DRUM enters the controversial debate over the concepts of “world music”, cultural appropriation, musical integrity and ownership, and the current growth in popularity of music from non-Western cultures.
Musicians, academics, broadcasters and World Music aficionados of culturally diverse backgrounds “beat” out a vibrant discussion across Melbourne at night, a discussion that can be extrapolated to most Western ‘multicultural’ cities. But there are no easy answers, and in the end BEATING THE DRUM is a documentary in which the music does the talking.
