ABSTRACT
Globalization as we currently discuss it and theorize it cannot be conceived without taking into consideration digital technologies that have speeded up the movement of information. It is for this reason that Manuel Castells prefers to label this era both global and informational, not simply one or the other, as much of this book makes clear. 1 This chapter, therefore, takes off from Castells to examine the ways that music moves around the world, and the consequences that this movement can sometimes have, with respect to a specific case of the German band Enigma and their appropriation of a song by aboriginal musicians in Taiwan.
