Except for traditional Folk from various European locations. I think this still counts as "Western Music", even if it isn't that popular.

If you consider the Western World to be purely Northern America, then I think you're right, since Native American tribes are normally not considered Western.

Imo, the best music comes from a mix of various cultures, I'm a huge fan of Folk Rock/Metal. (Rock and thus Metal obviously coming from Blues).

    Definitly true and fair point, yes i meant pop music in western countries. Also still a lot of new classical music being released. I would be more right if i had said 'almost all genres of western pop music have Afro-American roots'.
