What are some of the terms used to describe music that “deliberately brings together local and distant musical ideas and sounds”? What term does WOM prefer for this type of music and why?

What will be an ideal response?

• "This type of synthesis has many names from fusion, hybrid, syncretism to creole."


• WOM prefers the term "fusion" for such music because it denotes "a combination of different elements through heat, or in the case of cultural practices, through intense contact and interaction."
