I don't know about Western composers, but Balkan/Turkish/Armenian folk music is written in a variety of meters - 5,7,9,10,11,12,13, etc. and compound meters (18/16, for instance, which is 7/16 + 11/16. The people in this region definitely do feel this music. It makes for interesting brass band music!
