No. While it's true that music can be a great way for a culture to get together, much of Music Theory is culturally dependent- Western music sounds nothing like Eastern music which sounds nothing like Native American tribal music which sounds nothing like Australian aborigine tribal music. And it's more than just the instruments that are different: The forms and styles are completely different as well. So what might be a very passionate and emotive Peruvian love song, as an example, might be interpreted as a war chant by another culture.

For a less dramatic example, consider how widely style can vary just within a specific genre of Western music, like Rock and Roll, which is all based around the same fundamentals.
