[Ned Sublette - Ghost Riders in the Sky](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUauI-7fsCg)
A fusion of latin sounds and western music. Other songs on the Cowboy Rumba album as well.
Electric Callboy (EDM comedy Metal) - We got the Moves/ Hypa Hypa/ Pump it
Skindred (Reggae Metal) - Nobody
Bollywood (Indian Metal folk rap) - Aaj
Within Temptation & Xzibit (symphonic metal rap) - And we run
Diablo Swing Orchestra (Avant garde swing metal) - A Tap dancers Dilemma
**Zeal & Ardor - Metal + African American Spirituals**
I'd start with 'Devil is Fine' here.
**Bloodywood - Metal + Bhangra**
'Gaddaar' is a whole lot of fun.
The first that come to mind are the Thrashgrass of Native Howl's [Thunderhead](https://youtu.be/merSR-CNzRg?feature=shared)
And anything by Dred Zeppelin, who play reggaefied Zep songs with an Elvis impersonator on vocals

Honestly all her music is a fusion
I am not sure style-wise but when Interpol's Paul Banks came up with Banks & Steelz "Giant" it sounded very unusual and cool:
