Many greetings to all of you from Paco,

First off, I'd like to wish everyone across this green marble many days of enjoyment as we approach the various holidays and festivities in all of our respective countries. And ask that we all reflect on what is right in our lives as we leave one more year and enter 2008 in the next two months. Revel in goodness!!!!!

Keep an eye peeled for the launch of our redesigned content site and e-store coming in late December. Pacosvillage will have a music and video download store in it, access to online European deli, high-end womens fashion markdown store and many other unique "one-of" kinds of treats that you'd expect out of the Pacosvillage community.

My personal Editorial Comment:

Enough, the dumbing of America is just getting further institutionalized thanks to George W. Bush and his murderous corruptors in Washington, D.C.. Main thing I've gotten out of most recent political debate is America is very willing to teach their children that rules and moral strength is great unless you can save $0.14 on a head of lettuce, then it's OK to spit in the face of logic and let the law-breakers and immigration criminals become forgiven by an act of a perverse government who needs their maids and toilet-cleaners.

the sane world at large.............

We have been very active searching out wonderful stories from the many Arts & Music world folks we are meeting during our most recent travels. See below for a short description of one of those great group of artists. You’re in for a real treat when you go into the 2007 Year-End issue of Paco’s Global Village-it's our fresh new look to move through rest of 2007, into 2008.

We're slowly but completely mending all the broken links and broken content sections that resulted from the Hackers last summer doing their damage on us.

At the start of the year we are reopening our World events calendars, so that the various contributors from around the globe can log in and keep us aware in advance of the major Arts & Music events in their localities. I've had so many visitors to the site email me stories of how they read an article of an upcoming event in a country they coincidently were travelling to and how they went to the event met lots of local folks and it added to the adventure of the new place they were in. Sometinh to look forward to.

We’re still that same World Beat original content environment, and yes, we still are searching for freelance writing contributors to input their articles on the Visual & Performance Arts and Music to us for publishing. Please follow the rules though, we'll need you to ensure that you have the proper rights to publish your articles and photos, or we cannot publish them....

  • A Class Apart- Met this fine group of musicians and sampled their sounds- and boy are these guys hot. Not to mention they are practiced and serious artitsts- look out Putomayo Records or Groove Gravy Records, you might be missing a hot property here to add to your fine array of World Music talents- we'll talk!!! A Class Apart had just finished a superb 4-day gig at "the leather bar" at the Park Resort in Chennai, India. They're based in Calcutta, India and are trying to break out big, with an expected multi-city tour in the US later this year. Hopefully I can convince one of my club-owner friends to sign them for a night in Los Angeles, that city needs a little class (and I'm being very kind assuming theres any now). Described by the Park "For the lovers of fusion lounge music, it can't get any groovier than this."...
  • What makes them A Class Apart-
    • Neel Adhikari- The co-founder of Class Apart. Composer, programmer, vocalist and guitar player: Also plays the computer steelstring acoustic and nylon string acoustic.
    • Pt. Santanu Bandyopadhyay- The group's other co-founder and the voice of the band. He is a leading Hindustani classical exponent from the Bishnupur Gharana.
    • Shaukut Ali (Chuku)- Chuku is one of the leading guitarists in the East and profoundly influenced by Jazz and Fusion.
    • Chiradeep Lahiri (Chiro)- Chiro is unquestionably the East's most sought after sessions drummer.
    • Mainak Nag Choudhury (Bumpy)- Bumpy is an avid experimental bassist, who takes his instrument beyond its conventional use with his unique style and flair.
    • Partho Banerjee- Creates magical music from his tablas, jimbles, thumbas,mouth percussion, and even strange unique musical objects. A livewire musician.
    Our online store is actively searching out products to sell to our ever expanding global readership once we reopen late December 2007, please get in touch with us. We provide the online listing page- under a unique url(s) you use in your ads,website links, or handouts; we provide access to large amounts of traffic coming into the store; we process the credit cards for you, fax or email you an order to send out; then we pay you (minus our agreed upon processing fee) once the order shipments have been completed. Email us.

 

Cheers,
Paco
