We listen to Bela Fleck's sensational music. This is bluegrass as you've never heard it before.

 There are many talented musicians in the world, yet there are few we can truly call true masters. Jimi Hendrix mastered the guitar, Ravi Shankar mastered the sitar, and Bela Fleck has mastered the banjo. His music blends bluegrass with jazz and classical, and creates an exciting new genre of world fusion. It is exciting, yet relaxing at the same time.

Fleck is well known for playing with the Flecktones, and has won several Grammies for his incredible catalogue. Bela Fleck is a born musician, named after the Hungarian composer Bela Bartok, and it is clear that music runs through his blood.

Artists like Bela Fleck make world music an absolute pleasure. While all styles of music around the world have their quirks and charms, it is when they mix well that something beautiful happens. This demonstrates how much we have in common around the world, and leads to new experimental genres. These brave musicians are on the frontline of music, and lead the way to the future.
