The World Fusion Show will make its debut on WKTV Tuesday, May 1, at 7:30 pm. The show is hosted by multi-instrumentalist composer Derrik Jordan and is produced in Brattleboro, VT at community station BCTV. It features interviews, video clips and live in the studio playing with World Fusion composers and musicians. It has been growing rapidly since it debuted in July of 2017 and is now being shown in 16 states across the United States.
World Fusion is a term to describe a musical hybrid. Mainly, it is music created outside of the United States and it isn’t Pop, Jazz, or Country and isn’t created for commercial use by major record labels. What is often referred to as Folk Music, it is taken from a traditional ethnic or indigenous dance rhythm and instruments of a particular culture. World Fusion combines unrelated world music to create a new and unique style.
Jordan is an award-winning composer and singer-songwriter. He has a background in producing and composing World Fusion music for orchestra, chamber groups, TV and film. He loves bringing musicians and cultures together through his compositions. Along with multiple CDs he has available, he performs throughout the Northeast United States.
