Rhythm in nature
There is some sort of rhythm there in nature, and, perhaps there is a point when a critic said of Mozart's music : there are "too many (musical) notes " there ...
But oddly enough, I'm almost totally captivated by Chinese music recently, notably the music of a street musician "Abing" which brought Seiji Osawa --the conductor of Boston Symphony Orchestra -- not only to tears, but also down to his knees when he first heard it. One of his works has been transcribed into a symphony now.
But I'm afraid the historic recording is of poor audio quality particularly so when it was performed by the composer himself at a very late stage of his life, literally just weeks before his death in 1950. In any event, this might well be quite far away from popular taste on all probabilities even though it is widely adored by Chinese music lovers and cherished very much by many music lovers :
阿炳絕響 二泉映月

Also by the same composer on a different instrument-- some sort of a lute-- and I would compare him with Segovia the great guitarist of Spain:
