Just a not so important comment: there are many genres of music. One of the not most common must be this "ethnocentric-neo-baroque". Actually to me already Stravinsky composed some "neo-baroque" music (Pulcinella for ex.), so the baroquenism of the 21th century perhaps should be called "neo-neo-baroque" or alternatively "neobaroquenism"? And with some added ethnocentrism perhaps the style could be named "ethnoneobaroquenism"?
Just a thought...
