BUT. This music is where all music is based, African, S:American Asian. European I've not heard you mention the Mountains, that's what influenced Mozart
he also has a role to play if your baseing your argument on this music
Dylan also says he was influenced by folk, country, rock "N" roll. He managed in his OWN way to bring it all together and INFLUENCE other artists.
P.S. It's good music to chill-out on though
