Even in this indigenous example, there is a form in which the original melodic material resurfaced again and again throughout the piece. It is not certain what the pitch classification is or if there is even a harmonic or melodic structure; however, I believe in the idea of music being universal and is relatively expressed through the same mode of structure, form, rhythm, and pitches. Each culture just has a different way of organizing them.
