Yes "authentic" probably captures it....whatever "it" is  better than 
honesty....but there is that authentic v. contrived dimension that 
applies and relates to honesty...i am talking about the music and not 
the performance itself....there can of course be contrived performances 
of authentic ethnic music....but somehow, some musicians are able to 
tap into that authenticity and express it....and it is that aspect that 
I might be finding so universally "ethnic"....elliott
