SALVADOR DA BAIA - The popularity of world music has been on the rise in recent years. But often the countries of origin of the musicians in question are only in the news because of wars, disasters or economic crises. The story behind the music, the importance of it in society as catalyst for messages of development or warnings against AIDS, is never told.
For that reason, Dieter Telemans decided to do a series of photographs on world music on the different continents. The first part (Senegal) appeared on 25 November 2000, the second (South Africa) on 17 February 2001 and the third (Brazil) on 10 March.
