I'm not sure about that. I doubt that it was commonplace hundreds of years before. Maybe tens, I have no idea. My point was that it was stuff not really heard in a western musical context until the later 60s. You know, sort of like the "experimentalism" the Beatles are credited with for using sitar in their music.
