David Kaufman reports in last month's Wallpaper* on the emergence of what Mercer calls Global Nomadic Expatriates (GNEs): 'These are career expats'...'They move from country to country with no particular loyalty to a home nation'.
Could easily be referring to the original tribe Tyler Brule set out to reach when he launched Wallpaper* back in 96.
These GNE's differ from the traditional expat in the way that they reach out and ingrain themselves in local society for a few years before picking up and repeating somewhere new. over and over and over. This Bidoun lifestlye has always appealed to me on a conceptual level although looking back over my first thirty years I am surprised at how non-footloose they have been. Maybe life at forty will mean jetting between seven different buy-to-let hotel rooms in stimulating cities around the world. Starting out with The Jones.
someone needs to explain the virtues and wonders of digital distribution to these cats as it seems you can only get this on cd at the moment.
Independent on Zakaria Ibrahim: 'Over the last decade, his El Mastaba Centre for Egyptian Folk Music has played a key role in reviving, preserving and disseminating the traditional music of Egypt.'
More digging shall follow.
