Talossan Culture: Does it Always Have to be About Talossa?

A really healthy national culture is not solely focused on those things that only feature an explicitly nationalistic theme. That certainly is part of any culture, but just a part. A culture should have both John Phillip Sousa, Elvis and Arron Copeland.

The Republic encompasses citizens who are musicians, artists, writers, researchers and more. The life of the Republic would be greatly enhanced if in addition to featuring creations of the “green and red” variety, we also shared our creations in the other spheres of our life and had a place, or multiple places where such could be shared.

The other “culture nation” in which I live, the North American region of Appalachia, has a VERY distinct and rich culture. And while some of it seems to be just about the Appalachia experience there are thousands of artists, though heavily influenced by the culture, who produce works that are about the region and like all other artists works about their life experiences in general, thereby greatly enhancing our culture, broadly defined.

For example, one of my favorite Appalachian musicians certainly writes songs about the Appalachian experience:




But also writes pieces that may be influced by his culture but not necessarily about it:



So, do you have a recording of your music? A copy of a written work? A video? Whatever you do, share it with all of Talossa; it will not only improve our cultural life, but make the Republic more attractive to new citizens.
