ooh... noice! thank you for the recommendation; +rep
I always like it when "unusual" instruments or vocal styles are introduced into a song. I'm not sure how "cultural" it is...
For instance the banjo solo [url=http://youtu.be/tj_CwKxZMno?t=3m10s]here[/url] (Norway) or [url=http://youtu.be/cO4QqaoFuso?t=5m55s]here[/url] (Finland). Or the accordion used in [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ga_9xBB9-2Q]this song[/url] (Norway) warning: this song gets loud after about 10 seconds. I fackin' love the didgeridoo (?) used in [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfYD5urjZGs]this song[/url] (Netherlands).
Probably my favorite is stuff that's been infused with folk music in some way. Like [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohX8MiyEQ64]this[/url] (Italy), [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1ajecBmn-M]this[/url] (Norway), [url=http://youtu.be/Gm7NE48D6vk?t=2m4s]this[/url] (America) I saw them do this live and it blew my mind apart.. like Irish meets New York hip hop. I really dig this [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pgEZchOsZs]Russian neoclassical band[/url] that writes songs inspired by JRR Tolkien's writings.
I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for. I enjoy all styles of music, and I enjoy it when each culture puts their spin on different styles.

great point. not my style but i feel your enthusiasm
I just remembered a pretty cool band from Israel called Orphaned Land. They describe themselves as "Jewish-Muslim metal."
I dig these two songs by them, especially the first with the female vocalist. I think the second one is an old Jewish song.

You can definitely hear the cultural influence. They're also pretty impressive in the fact that they are from Israel and have a very strong following amongst Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and atheists/anything else.
Also, you should check out some Eurovision songs. It's a music competition in Europe, sort of like American Idol or something except each musical act is from a different country.
Here's a review of some of the past winners [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geZZ32svm9k[/url]
I have the 2010 winner on my iPhone. Song is catchy as fk.
At one point, I really liked this band called Sektor Gaza from Russia. Here's a song, that as far as I can tell, is about [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dV4rn7LDkDU]a guy and his motorcycle[/url]. Has a cool old rock sound to it. Almost kind of reminds me of Joan Jett or something, heh.
really enjoying tabu ley rochereau from the congo at the moment:

my dad left this exact region to go to belgium and then the USA to complete his training.

for whatever reason that music still thrills me and haunts me when i listen to it. chills up my spine and a feeling of needing to go back to nature and the tall mountains, immediately.
genetic impressions, maybe?

For those with long attention spans

[url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpREmUglo3M[/url] - A mridangam (south Indian version of a Tabla) solo - very complex rhythmic patterns. Far more complex than anything you generally hear in Western music.
[url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tod7pMD7BoQ[/url] Mridangam vs. Tabla duel. Fcuking sick. If you are into percussion this one is highly recommended.
