Random rant of the day

I normally love Putumayo‘s world music compilations, so I’ve been looking for a few good ones for the kiddo. Since we lived in Korea, I thought Asian Dreamland might be nice.

Asian Dreamland? Not so much. Japanese Dreamland (with a few Random Choices from Elsewhere) is more like it. Six of the 10 songs are from Japan with one song each from Tibet, China, India, and Russia (the Siberian republic of Tartarstan, actually).

We do have several CDs of Korean children’s music, including lots of lullabies, so it’s not like we really need more. But I am offended on behalf of my former host country (and also Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, the Phillipines, Taiwan,  ….)

What gives?
