Musical Fusion
It' all in the mix
Musical fusion is about bringing different musical genres together. Often, this can create exciting new music styles. Did you know that rock and roll is the result of this mixing of music? In the 1950s, American artists started combining country music, traditional blues music, and gospel music from churches to make an exciting new sound. Rock and roll then traveled across the Atlantic Ocean to Britain, and the British added their own style. The result was bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones in the 1960s. These bands created music that was a fusion of British and American rock that people all over the world loves.
