groundbreaking crossover- anything left?

[basscooker]

i propose a thought experiment: what seperate schools of music that have not been meshed yet still remain, and of those, which lend to marketable combinations of melodies, harmonies and rythms? for example: didn't someone manage to get quite a bit of sales combining gregorian chants with house beats? extremes? or just what would be a crazy pair to try and mate?

A group of guys who played in local extreme metal bands here a couple of years back tried to fuse bachata (which is tropical dominican music, which by the way, I dislike most of it very much) with metal. Needless to say they were not successful and from what I heard they spent a lot of money on the project.

They called it "bachata progresiva"
