Hi Dave and All,
Just to contribute my view on this.  If you, Dave, will precisely  define 
the boundaries of "native group which" originated the "style" of music in  
question then that can be your world of that kind of music as well as the 
world  of others who agree with you.  At this time, I sincerely do not 
understand  whether you are including yourself among the those "most likely to play 
it  in the spirit" (and heart) or if you are saying that this "authenticity"  
(my term) is extinct like the dinosaur.
 
I do not see your view, if I understand it, to be politically  incorrect.  
But I do see it as too narrow to be useful to those of us  looking for what 
music we want to be listening to, ---- and buying.

In an  effort to display their deep musical knowledge and tongue-clucking  
disapproval of my "political incorrectness", their are those on the list  
who 
are entirely missing my point, whish is a simple one:  native  groups which 
originate a style of music are, de facto, those most likely  to perform it 
in 
the spirit which inspired it in the first place.  I  never said that other 
nationalities could NOT perform that particular  style, or that they 
performed it badly.  I'm talking about the heart  and spirit of the music, 
something which eludes many musicians regardless  of nationality, who feel 
that playing the notes is what the music is  about.
