Fusion Music Taking Over?!

mys2erio · 10-21-2013, 02:32 AM

Hey guys n gals!

Is it just me or is fusion type music taking over these days?! I'm a middle aged Caucasian man and I've grown up listening to rock and country music but the other day I was browsing a site and this strange Arabic/middle eastern song began playing. It was somewhat weird and annoying at first till I heard some English words in the mix. Strangely enough, i found myself humming the tune after just 3 listens! I still have no idea what the song means but surprisingly it got stuck in my head!!! Lol.

Oh and if you wanna know what song it was that I was listening to, search "G Gill Rookh Ja" on youtube and it should be the first link. Please leave me a reply or two on this thread and tell me it's not just me going crazy here haha.

God bless,

Rey W

Haha. The way you worded that sounded xenophobic.

I think there's more fusion around these days too (I certainly hear more anyway) but I don't think it's taking over.

Haha oh my, I didn't mean to say it like that. But yes I could definitely have worded that better!

And I guess it's not quite "fusion" after all. I was trying to say foreign music fused with English. I've been hearing a lot more of it on radio stations here in Vancouver and I guess it's not half bad if you're a little open minded and give it a chance!
