If you are determined to expand your musical horizons, the Rogue World Music Festival can help. A lot.
Sounds from all corners of the Earth will be featured over Memorial Day weekend (May 24-27), at venues in Ashland, Talent, and Medford. There's a huge variety in rhythm and melody and language among the featured artists.
Ana Byers, Executive Director of Rogue World Music, returns to the JX with details of the sprawling festival.
