Hi Peter Firstly, it's great to replay to the actual person who wrote the music which is discussed. Well, I must say that while I didn't remember this scene from a film where this cue was used, I did enjoy it although it functions more as a source-music type of cue. It brings some refreshing (although a short one), accoustic, rhytmic and native breath after Barry's orchestral magnificence presented in previous 11 tracks, especially sensational "Buffalo Hunt" film version. But I must agree in some little part with reviewer that putting this cue in the middle of album just like THIS one might be in some way (but very little ) a bit disturbing. Anyway Peter, great job!
