The record industry
The record industry is undoubtedly in crisis, with labels laying off employees in continuation. This is because CD sales are plummeting as youngsters prefer to download their music from the Internet, usually free of charge.
And yet it´s not all gloom and doom. Some labels are in fact thriving. Putumayo World Music, for example, is growing, thanks to its catalogue of ethnic compilation albums, featuring work by largely unknown artists from around the planet.
Putumayo, which takes its name from a valley in Colombia, was founded in New York in 1993. It began life as an alternative clothing company, but soon decided to concentrate on music. Indeed its growth appears to have coincided with that of world music as a genre.

a compilação de álbuns com diferentes estilos musicais.
a ausência de artistas populares entre as pessoas mais jovens.
o aumento do número de cantores desconhecidos.

1984 (excerpt)
'Is it your opinion, Winston, that the past has real existence?' [...] O'Brien smiled faintly. 'I will put it more precisely. Does the past exist concretely, in space? Is there somewhere or other a place, a world of solid objects, where the past is still happening?'
'No.'
'Then where does the past exist, if at all?'
'In records. It is written down.'
'In records. And — —?'
'In the mind. In human memories.'
'In mernory. Very well, then. We, the Party, control all records, and we control all memories. Then we control the past, do we not?'
ORWELL. G, Nineteen Eighty-Four. New York: Signet Classics, 1977
