FUSION!
Fusion in music refers to the process of merging diverse, distinct, or separate elements into a unified whole. This approach is popular in contemporary music, where different styles and genres are combined to create innovative and unique sounds. Fusion music can blend elements from jazz, rock, funk, classical, world music, and more, resulting in a rich and eclectic mix that transcends traditional boundaries and appeals to a wide audience.
