What exactly is meant when you say Universal Understanding? I mean if its that vague then yes and no. Take 10 people and listen to Cannibal Corpse and I bet you they all feel a little angry. Take those same people and play them some Jimi and they will probably all want to dance and smoke some weed. Now they are all feeling anger, pleasure, and different urges but for different reasons based on culture and upbringing. So depending on how you define understand the answer is always going to be different.

Studies have been done with people whom have never heard western music. They asked them how certain songs made them feel, and there answers were very similar to the average American citizen.
