One word jazz. Totally American in its' roots melded also a fusion music. Ok two words rock and roll. Make that three and four bluegrass and blues. All a product of fusions all distinctly American. Which is the definition of cultural fusion being an immigrant based country. That's why the tango is Argentine. It is what is known in the ethnomusicological field as colonized people's music. The circumstances in play to create each unique fusion would not have been present in any other part of the world based on our history as a species. Consider it the musical equivalent of Darwin's evolutionary concept. _AJ
