Indifference to dissonance in native Amazonians reveals cultural variation in music perception [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
A native Amazonian society rated consonant and dissonant chords and vocal harmonies as equally pleasant, whereas Bolivian city- and town-dwellers preferred consonance, indicating that preference for consonance over dissonance is not universal and probably develops from exposure to particular types of polyphonic music.
