Ancient Future Nominated for Two World Music Awards: About.com World Music Trailblazer Award and ZoneMusicReporter World Music Album of the Year
Ancient Future Receives About.com Reader's Choice Award Nomination
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 Music Trailblazer category at:
