I don't think it's so complicated to define Jewish music, no. 1- obviously, if it's made by a non-jew it's not JEWISH music - any song made by a frum jew is jewish music or any song made by a non frum jew but has a jewish theme is also jewish music
What he says about Spanish and Portuguese Jewish music is profoundly ignorant, and it shocks me he says it with such confidence. First of all, please don't call our ancestors "pigs". (That's what "marrano" means, and that's what the people who burned our ancestors alive called them. You don't want to be like them) Our ancestors in Amsterdam and other places weren't blank slates. Yes, many had been forced to live outwardly as Catholics, but they all initially joined communities - particularly in Italy - founded by Sephardic Jews who came from Spain and Portugal with living traditions, who then provided hakhamim and hazzanim for other communities. Our musical traditions are ancient, and uninterrrupted. Yes, there were many new compositions made over the years, that is part of every musical culture. Your own music sounds eastern European to my ears, not Jewish. So what? Nobody and nothing lives in a vacuum.
