"This fantastic, engaging, educational and enlightening program is fabulous for those both steeped in those various musical traditions and those new to them. Keep 'em coming."

"This show is very needed. World music is perhaps the coolest and most interesting music that gets probably the least attention. Spreading awareness about World Fusion brings us closer together as people on this planet. Very happy to have this show."

"Really glad to have found this. The conversations with artists are lively and very informative and it's cool to be exposed to extraordinary World Music. The live in studio performances are wonderful."

What is World Music?

World Music is the current catch-all term used to describe music that is created mostly outside of the USA - it is music that is not Pop, Jazz, Blues, Country, Classical or that is not created for commercial distribution by the major record labels. The term World Music also implies music that is of ethnic or indigenous origin - really what we used to call folk music, that is connected to the ancient dance rhythms and instruments of a particular culture. World Fusion music is a style that attempts to combine various kinds of unrelated World Music with other music into new and exciting musical hybrids.

Derrik Jordan composes World Fusion and World Fusion/Classical music for orchestra, chamber groups, TV and film and loves to bring musicians and cultures together through his compositions. He has released many CDs (see the Music page) and performs his original songs as a singer-songwriter and instrumentally on the 5-string electric violin and many other instruments including five CDs under the name "SuperString Theory." His double CD "Brazilliance" features his original Brazilian inspired sambas and bossa novas written over 3 decades.

He also performs with many groups including Tony Vacca's World Rhythms, Impulse Ensemble and Natural History. Living in the hills of beautiful southern Vermont, he sings and plays throughout the northeast USA. You can find all of Derrik Jordan's CDs and recordings on the Music page, I-Tunes and many other internet download sites. To get a quick overview of the huge variety of styles he creates and his international collaborations go to his Soundcloud page where you can also listen to over 135 podcasts of The World Fusion Show.
