Top 5 Non-European, Non-USA Composers

[kyjo]

Ginastera (Argentina)
Guarnieri (Brazil, since everyone else is -understandably - choosing V-L)
Lilburn (New Zealand)
Saygun (Turkey)
Sculthorpe (Australia)

Bonus: Yoshimatsu (Japan)

I wanted to include Ben-Haim (Israel), but he spent the first 36 years of his life in Germany.

Alright, since Ray chimed in, I think I have a better understanding of what is meant by non-European (incl. Russians), so here are my picks:

Villa-Lobos (Brazil)
Ginastera (Argentina)
Revueltas (Mexico)
Chávez (Mexico)
Takemitsu (Japan)

No Sculthorpe, John?

Geographically speaking, Turkey is an Asian country, most of its territory is in fact called Asia Minor. Politically though I've never seen it refered as such; it's considered as belonging to Europe. They even tried to join the EU until a few years ago but I don't know if they still want it.

My mother is from Istanbul, I know all about it.

A very nice & extremely diverse city to visit. There's massive EU opposition to Turkey joining these days too however, especially with Erdogan in charge. We're probably talking this for at least the next 2 decades as well.
