That's true, actually, I don't think I'd really approached it thinking about it like that before. I tend to have some kind of massive (and totally ridiculous/offensive to myself even when I actually think about it) reaction to a lot of stuff like that based on the fact I am an International Relations student and so spend a lot of my time being stupid about cultural imperialism vs cultural appropriation etc. See also: have read too much Eduardo Galeano in last week possibly.
On the other hand, there is the aspect that a lot of awesome Brazilian music that doesn't so heavily emulate music from these parts/the US doesn't get that kind of interest around it. Which is a shame, in my opinion, although I'll admit my knowledge of Brazilian music is highly limited.
Are the two DFAs not the same? I have been lied to. I thought Jesse Whatshisface was in both of them? Either him or the other one, Sebastien Whatshisfaceorwhateverhe'scalled. Blimey.
