Yes, definitely interesting.

I wonder also how much influence indigenous music has influenced modern Brazilian music. I think it's hard to find South American music that isn't also heavily influenced by Portugal/Spain/Africa. It's hard enough to be sure of some early Western music, never mind from areas far from Europe.

Out of curiosity, do you know how much is known of early Australian aboriginal music? My knowledge is limited to bands like Yothu Yindi, which appear to have a strong traditional influence, but then how would/could I know for sure? Again there appear to be strong polyrhythmic flavours.
