Our main problem is the lack of information. Some of us (Scissorman, Dankrsta, Number9Dream, Ikvat, Petula, Vegangelica, me and others) are providing that info at the World Music section. But there's a "deficit" of German, Italian, Japanese and Scandinavian (in non-English languages) music.
That seems like very limited list. No African countries, seriously? And what about Mexico, Cuba, Turkey and many other countries with rich musical heritage? Hell, what about China and India? They're the two biggest countries in the world after all.
