Welcome to music far beyond the mainstream. Some people call it "world beat," since 1997 I have called it "World Fusion" - music that blends the styles of multiple cultures.
I play music from independently-minded artists who embrace diversity and artistic expression.
This is the music of the world.
This IS the music of the future.
The term was originally intended for ethnic-specific music, though globalization is expanding its scope; it now often includes hybrid sub-genres such as World fusion,Global fusion, Ethnic fusion and World beat. These terms may also be considered sub-genres of pop music, illustrating that the term world music refers to music that is also classified under other genres.
