True, but not within the first 20-30 years or so.
If the start date of jazz is placed somewhere around 1910, with the first
"jazz" recording around 1916, you don't get to the establishment of the
Afro-Cuban jazz school, or Brazilian jazz, (Jobim, Bonfa, etc.) for quite
some time.
Likewise, extra-American influences in hip hop date to about the same time,
historically speaking, as they do in jazz.
