The United States of America is a nation of immigrants -- indeed, if Native Americans had had a stricter anti-immigration policy, few of the people who want to "complete the dang fence" would be here to do so.

(By the way, did you know that the Dang Fence has its own Twitter feed?  Right here: https://twitter.com/TheDangFence.  You're welcome.)

The week of the USA's Independence Day (also the week of Monticello's annual naturalization ceremony, pictured above), seems like a great time to celebrate this country's world musicians -- folks who have come here to further their musical and other life dreams, folks who have woven their native or inherited musical traditions into the American fabric, and born-and-bred Americans whose music taps into that of other cultures.

So this week on Global A Go-Go: World music made in the USA.
