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

What will be an ideal response?

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