Thanks Michael,
that is indeed food for thought. And I like Classical music - particularly contemporary stuff from Steve Reich & Philip Glass but also the big guns of the past. I enjoy (but don't yet own) Toru Takemitsu's Rain Tree, and the Kodo drummers and all sorts of other Japanese music, so I shall see if I can find the Yoshikazu Mera to try out.

I have dipped my toe into some Hungarian folk music in the past and wasn't exactly enthralled; I am more taken with things like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Amampondo.

And I can enjoy Latin American music too. Some of your suggestions could probably be found from a decent music library so I'll have a look...
