Music teachers and instrument shop owners say that young Iraqis, bored with television and with little else to do, are investing both time and money in learning to play musical instruments. With little or no electricity supplies in Baghdad, however, they are limited mainly to string instruments -- especially guitars. "The top musicians in Iraq who used to be our customers have left the country to escape the bad security situation," said Raghid, owner of an instrument shop in Baghdad's downtown Karrada district. "So now we are selling to amateurs who wish to learn to play music at home for entertainment," said the talented 32-year-old who asked that only one name be used. "Youngsters are mainly buying imported guitars which need no electricity," he added, sighing for the days when the Middle Eastern Oud, or lute, known for its intricate engravings, was his top seller. Prices vary. A Korean guitar sells for 60 to 90 dollars (42 to 64 euros) while a Chinese violin goes for as little as 50 dollars. For those with their own sources of electrical power, Indonesian or Chinese keyboards are available for prices ranging from 100 to 700 dollars. 9/25/2007 11:40:26 PMhttp://www.detroitfashionpages.com/music/music-271.aspPARIS (AFP) -A new homespun urban dance phenomenon has taken hold in Paris and is quickly spreading to the rest of France through Internet videos and word-of-mouth.

Groups of teenagers were overheard chanting "Tecktonik" as dance-offs took place in the street and the evening news bulletins were full of images and testimony from the leaders of this latest craze. The starting point for the scene is a complex of nightclubs on the southeastern outskirts of Paris called the Metropolis, but there are signs that it is spreading thanks to videos on file-sharing websites YouTube and Dailymotion. "For seven years we've been organising nights called Tecktonik Killer where we play the harder sounds of northern Europe (Belgium, The Netherlands) and the softer sounds of the south (Italy, Spain)," the artistic director of the Metropolis, Cyril Blanc, told AFP. 9/20/2007 10:22:56 AMhttp://www.detroitfashionpages.com/music/music-256.aspTHE HAGUE (AFP) -When the first CDs rolled off the presses at the Philips factory near Hannover, Germany on August 17, 1982, nobody realized these newfangled compact discs would revolutionise entertainment.8/18/2007 10:01:01 PMhttp://www.detroitfashionpages.com/music/music-190.aspDetroit's ever expanding music scene is adding another large player as Division X Records launches this August.
