The first link is very reminiscent to a CD of native australian aborigine music, even quite similar at some points. I'd like to know if the inuit or aboriginal people see music in the same way we do, as an entertainment[0], or something else.
[0] A fair bit of classical western music historically was IIRC for dedication to god rather than entertainment. I guess 'music' may be too broad a term, or have too many connotations to be useful here. Musicologists please chime in.
