scot mil you need to lighten up. American Classical Indigenous music is what these folks are talking about.  I heard a band from Seattle take a Nirvana tune and allowed for improvasation over the chord changes. Maybe the interveiwer was asking the wrong questions.  When one starts using labels  things can be put in a box.  That is what slave holders and fascist  attempt to do. Brazil has a treasure trove of music. Chorino musicians have influenced Hermeto Pascoal, Toniho Horta, Elaine Elias to name a few.  Jacob Bandolim, Pixinguinha, Benedito Lacerda wrote beautiful compositions check them out. Music is the human condition sometimes the soul comes out. There is no boxes, it is transendent of all the flack we have to deal with on day to day survival. We are all Heinz57.
