I wasn't saying pride couldn't apply to cultural achievements, just that I don't believe pride can ONLY come from accomplishment.

I am not arguing that these people are not motivated by the value they put on their culture, but I wouldn't call it "pride." We are just arguing over definition. Couldn't someone not of that culture still make that kind of music and enjoy that culture? Absolutely, and it is the value they put on their culture that drives those singers.

I'm not necessarily proud of anything, and I am perfectly happy.

Regardless of whether this is true or not, this is simply not an argument/statement you want to use when your are in a debate/conversation/whateveryoucallit. How are people supposed to understand you?
