Music as a Universal Language

Yesterday, I realized music isn't necessarily a universal language.   Yes, everybody around the world has music in their culture.  But, your ear can cringe at sounds you have never heard before.  Yesterday, on Itunes I listened to some Classical Indian music, both (Northern and Southern).  At first I thought it was odd and I asked myself: "This is classical music?  Surprisingly the same country can have different music in two different regions as well.  Northern Indian Classical music is completely different from Southern Indian Classical Music.   But as I kept listening to it I heard embellishments from the Classical European music I play.  Indians probably cringe at European music, because their ears aren't use to the sounds.  I have started to research the different types of classical music all around the world and not just the typical European music I listen to.  Today I heard some samples of Chinese Classical music and enjoyed it.
