Verse:Mwail/Bjeheond/Music: Difference between revisions

Hlou influence on Wiobian music led to the development of a unique tradition of purely rhythmic music, called ''Tanquaɟ'' (from Hlou ''Tal'' + Wiobian ''Nquaɟ'' (music)), played almost exclusively on percussion instruments. But violin family instruments were adapted to this style; performers would strike different parts of their instruments with their fingers, and tune the strings so low that they hit against the fingerboard producing a loud percussive effect. The rhythms used were often extremely fast and complicated and polyrhythms were common.
