Phillips goes on to talk about Paul Simon’s complicated era Gracelandthe interaction between Angélique Kidjo and Talking Heads, and how Disney black panther and live action lion king. She also elaborated on why she cringes at the term “world music.”
“I absolutely cringe when I hear the words ‘world music,’ and my whole body cringes like a pretzel because it romanticizes the vastness of our world,” she explains. “Geographically it’s true, but we’re so connected more than anyone wants to know.”
