But the question "where does self-repetition begin?" is also important, and not just in the context of world music.<br /><br />Self-repetition is becoming a substitute for creativity in many fields, and without creativity art becomes entertainment.<br /><br />I am sure I will feature more fusion stuff here. But checks and balances are also important.
