Azizi quotes a passage about Berber music which is a great example of the sloppy thinking I have talked about earlier in this thread. Because the Celts(whoever they are meant to be) used bagpipes does not mean there is anything distinctively Celtic about bagpipes. Because the Chinese like pentatonic music does not mean there is anything distinctively Chinese about pentatonic music. You would think this would come in to the realm of the Bleeding Obvious, but it is surprising how many amateur ethnomusicogists fall into the trap. It's simple: Michael Coleman played the fiddle, this does not prove the Irish invented the fiddle. The Rolling Stones played blues. This does not prove the English invented blues.
