Many of the fusion bands I have heard live in Colombia (and/or have on CD), have a DJ in the musical mix. Those DJ’s play a fundamental part in the diversity of sounds created by the band as a whole.
Live music is the ultimate musical experience for me.
A great DJ to dance or listen to is also an awesome musical experience.
The 2 combined: DJ + a band = musical diversity +++, live.
A DJ can create any and as many different sounds as he/she wants yes? Musicians can’t do the same thing with instruments, can they?
Combine the musicians and the DJ’s (+ of course emcees & vocalists), and you have complete musical freedom to be as diverse as you want yes? The sound possibilities are endless.
Or no?
Add a VJ into the mix and you have visual diversity with the auditory yes?
