 I don't like it.
 
 Please, -- Kabalas, Alan Eder/Pesach Posse, Klezperanto, Neshama, et al.,
 keep making more great, original and  "promiscuous" music.

I have to go with Wolf on this one. (See, we agree again) Without the 
promiscous fusionisers, African American music would be field hollers and 
basic blues. There would be no Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, 
etc. I agree that bringing a personal approach to Folk idioms has to result 
in good music for us to agree that it is good, but that doesn't invalidate 
the technique itself.
