New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Ancient Future Official Website On February 21, 2012, About.com announced that their readers had nominated Ancient
Future for an award that seems tailor-made for the pioneering world fusion music ensemble: the About.com World
Music Trailblazer Award!
To quote About.com, "This award is the second of our two artist's awards, intended for a band or artist who is breaking new territory in the realm of world music. That could mean an artist combining ancient instruments with modern recording techniques, a band who fuses multiple genres of ethnic music into something completely new, a pair of artists who've made a cross-cultural CD together, or any number of other things."
Formed in 1978, Ancient
Future is the world's first and longest-running band dedicated to the creation of world fusion music, and as such it has been doing all of these things for over three decades! About.com readers and fans of Ancient
Future can vote for the band in the World
