My issue is the use of the word silly in front of the phrase musical
genres.
Whether the exist is hardly the question. Calling them silly is a typical

Because it forces listeners to 'pgeonhole' music based on their

Forces? Hardly. Gives a hint as to whether it's your kind of thing,
maybe. It's cool if Koby Israelite doesn;t fit any genre. But

That's because you're intelligent and educated. You are not 'Joe Listener'.

This is an entirely different question! Artists cannot
be classified the same way that music is.

Joan Baez's dad was Mexicano. However, Baez is sometimes a Sephard name. There was a Nobel Winning Scientist with that last name, who was Jewish..and also Sephard and Latino.
As for Farina...he learned La Rosa from Carolyn Hester...the same place by the way that Joanie learned Donna Donna from.
I provided a set of lyrics and a translation to this person, but I thought that I'd throw it out to the group in case someone has something to add of particular interest (to the listserv as a whole, not just the gentleman in question).

Dear Maxwell Street Band
