Thread Name: How would you classify this music?
Subject: RE: How would you classify this music?
I don't know what I would call it, exactly. I would probably classify the oud-led parts and mandolin-led parts differently if I had heard them separately, though they also work together in tandem.
Though I agree with Stim's description and history, Ethnic Fusion, as a term, holds a "world music" connotation for me, and I'm not sure this fits that bill. It's too poppy for that.
I like it though, whatever it is. I've never seen those instruments played together before.
