Since publication in June 2005, Global Beat Fusion: The History of the
Future of Music has helped to define the emerging global culture being
created by international music and the musicians that search past their
own nations to create and collaborate. This newly updated and revised
Kindle edition featuring candid interviews with Karsh Kale, Krishna Das,
Cheb i Sabbah, Bill Laswell, Ojos de Brujo, Zakir Hussain, Mercan Dede,
Nickodemus, Boban Markovic, Niyaz and many more, as well as an entirely
new last chapter and preface. This important work is the definitive
source for the most progressive musical movement of the 21st century. As
NPR stated, “Global Beat Fusion: The History of the Future of Music is
not a book about music alone. It’s about a growing worldwide community
that’s searching for shared experience without politics or corporate
involvement. And it could fill many different slots on the bookshelf.”
Newsday noted that “Beres takes a Joseph Campbell-like comparative look
at various cultures, then discusses the semi-underground patchwork of
musicians who are using this often-sacred music for dancefloor kinetics.
He then explains why that combination is not as incongruous as it might
seem at first glance.”
