I have a passion for a belief that during this ever increasing musically exciting time where communications has bread powerfull relationships between cultures and countries from the circumfrence of our globe that the world is a cultural time bomb. The bomb is filled with inspirational fusions of different world traditions of concepts, ideals, stories, and charismas all expressing themselves through enterntainment....music. The fuse has been lit and the musical explosion has started! Due to developments in technology which have made sounds from different cultures more accesible and communication and travel easier and quicker.
