The OP could absolutely say this culture's music is obnoxiously complicated to outsiders, because either 1) like many nomads, they trek through other countries and mixed-and-matched styles, or 2) storytelling/music is their main entertainment, because how else do you cheer up cranky kids or footsore companions? "Wow, this ten-minute epic ballad is great! Oh wait, it's from Nomad-Group. They forgot to learn the SECOND HALF. bangs head against wall" | |

I also agree with the adaptability of the culture, but I envision it as starting musical style, not a step up from another group. This group would undoubtedly be able to adapt, but I imagine that this group has remained isolated from other culture's music. But both of these comments are technically correct--I do not deny that. | |

The Inuit people's Wikipedia page mentions that while they didn't have a strong musical tradition because it was mainly used for religion/spirituality, they adopted foreign music very quickly. Unless the OP's culture subscribes to the "primitive savage" stereotypes, you can adapt all sorts of hand-held instruments for a people on the move. | |
