Most of the hype-marketed music, after its blitz of publicity is over, shrivels into obscurity. What each such album achieves is whetting the appetite of the listening public for more. However, the kind of satisfaction that the listener of yore felt, is getting rarer. Toffler in his prophetic book, Future Shock suggested inculcating practices that reduce the burden of choice. As long as there are set habitual and routine activities that punctuate a day full of novelty and change, so long the person can remain insulated from the shock finding himself at a distance from his expected life-style.
Music fits in perfectly with such an approach to deal with rigors of change.
The very history of music portrays relationship between a sequence of notes and its effect on human emotions. It acts as an anchor, where a person bewildered with external changes, can find familiarity and solace. Fusion, in itself, has been an ever-present element of music, albeit in a more concrete sense. Within the terminology of music, it simply means to mingle two different sets of styles with each other. One way is to combine two singing styles together.
