It depends on the orchestrator. I suppose it was the open string harmonies and the seemingly-randomly-placed drums that made the reminiscence for you. It didn't sound like that to me: the pentatonic scale and the absence of a snap rhythm in the drums strongly separate it to my ear. I think a survey of which musics remind various listeners of other musics would be quite interesting.
