African rhythms have had a huge impact on American
popular music over the last century. As more and
more people from the continent have immigrated,
songs from their home countries have repeatedly
climbed world music charts. Some have even crossed
over into the realm of top 40.
Then there's Bollywood, home of the Indian musical
and touted as cinema’s "next big thing".
Although these over-the-top, melodramatic musicals
are still waiting for their close-up, American cinema
is catching on, turning out derivative films like
Moulin Rouge and The Guru.
