# Genre Blending Techniques
One of Suno's strengths is creating unique sounds by blending multiple genres.
## Successful Combinations
### Electronic + Organic
"Electronic pop with live acoustic guitar, organic drums, warm analog synths"
### Classical + Modern
"Orchestral dubstep, symphonic strings with heavy bass drops, cinematic EDM"
### Cultural Fusion
"Afrobeat meets jazz fusion, West African percussion with improvised saxophone"
## Blending Tips
1. **Start with a primary genre**: Establish the foundation
2. **Add complementary elements**: Choose genres that share some characteristics
3. **Specify the balance**: Use words like "with hints of" or "heavy influence from"
4. **Consider instrumentation**: Mix instruments from different traditions
## Example Prompts
- "Country trap, banjo and 808s, southern twang with modern hip hop beats"
- "Celtic EDM, traditional Irish fiddle with progressive house production"
- "Bossa nova lo-fi, Brazilian guitar rhythms with chill hop drums and vinyl texture"
