<DIV>Appreciate the good post ----a great and exciting idea as it may help
inspire young people to further invest interest in their language using music
whether traditional or via <EM>loan music </EM>and <EM>non-traditional
instruments, </EM>besides it's just plain fun stuff to do ---- but it should be
noted though, various native people have been doing this very same
thing for sometime, including myself ---- I have for some 25 or 30 years now,
been using my native language in jazz and pop genre performing
with a non-traditional musical instrument. Cheers, Earl
