I wonder if there have been discussions about people in the US making music inspired or imported from other cultures? Postmodern Jukebox originator Scott Bradlee often transposes songs done in one style into some other style in a way that I find interesting. Here he re-imagines the Swedish DJ and record producer Avicii's song Wake Me Up in a Mariachi sound where, to my ear, it was meant to be.

You never heard of Frankie Valens "La Bamba"? Ever heard of TexMex? Jazz has influence from all over the world. You can find Latin America and Africa in hip hop.... Pop too. There is INFLUENCE and there is STEALING. Musicians do it all over the world not only in America.

Personally I don't care. If I like the music, I don't care if it is derivative in somebody's opinion.
@markwd if you don't care why you wonder? You walking with a foot on the road and the other on the sidewalk.
@GipsyOfNewSpain I have had that come up in the past so I wanted to feel the room. Your characterization of what I'm doing is of no consequence.
This definitely works really well. Thanks for posting,
