Nowhere is global culture more apparent than in music, an expression that lends itself perfectly to fusion and adaptation. Musicians have always been among the most open to outside influences, using new instruments, styles and rhythms to express themselves. Most of today's popular music forms are themselves the result of cultural fusions. Rock, salsa, blues, Afropop, rai, samba, bhangraÉall sprang from the melding of multiple worlds.

The result is a pan-national sound that unites people around the globe in a common vibe. Or, to update George Clinton, "One World Under a Groove." It is a celebration of our differences and our similarities, with the simple message that a good party is a universal pleasure. New World Party commemorates the positive elements of the growing global culture, and expresses hope that the new millennium will bring original and exciting music forms that respect tradition while being relevant to the present and the future.
