I don't know if the following are "fusion"-related but certainly incorporate
*world*-music elements into their music:
Aktuala
Solaris (I don't have the solo album by their keyboardist but it's
supposedly *world* music)
Philip Glass - Powaqaatsi (you may be surprised by this one)
I'm sure there are boatloads more but I'm hard-pressed to come up with any
right now.
