Ron Korb, renowned as a globetrotting flautist and composer, has carved a unique niche within the world music genre through his heartwarming fusion of Eastern and Western musical traditions. Canadian-born, Korb's extensive study of Asian music has not only influenced his playing technique but also his approach to composition, infusing his works with a rich tapestry of cultural sounds.

With albums such as "Asia Beauty," for which he received a Grammy nomination, and "Europa"—a celebration of European folk traditions—Korb demonstrates his virtuosity and versatility. His more recent offerings like "Havana Sun" and "World Café" continue to showcase his ability to blend the traditional with the contemporary, creating immersive auditory landscapes. A master of various flutes, including the Irish pennywhistle and the pan flute, Korb's music often tells a story, with albums like "Once Upon A Time" weaving musical narratives that transport listeners to different realms. His work like "Sister of the Wind" and "Native Earth" is deeply evocative, painting vivid scenes that reflect his travels and the global traditions that he embraces. With each release, including the spirited "Behind the Mask (Dance Remix)," Ron Korb reaffirms his status as a true ambassador of world music, bridging gaps between diverse musical heritages with his enchanting melodies.
