It was kind of an interesting mixture of those two genres because what\u2019s nice about the world music is it\u2019s so energizing, and what\u2019s nice about the lo-fi music is that it\u2019s repetitive, and that makes it relaxing, so it gave the audience this kind of suspense, but it also\u2026 it was just enough to dance and bob your head, feel energized, but not enough to feel distracted, or overpowering.
