* '''Kerachomā''' is a very different style and has its origins in older Toyubeshian folk music from the East. As such, its typical instrumentation is different from other styles (even if today there is more experimentation and both traditional Plain Chlouvānem instruments and electronic ones are used): with an emphasis on guitar (imported in its shape and sound from Greater Skyrdagor, even if the Calemerian guitar is probably a Qualdomelic invention) and harmonica, it does sound somewhat like 50s country music; lyrically, it is often "freer" than other styles, having less of an emphasis on devotional lyrics (as for example ''laneika'' music does). | * '''Kerachomā''' is a very different style and has its origins in older Toyubeshian folk music from the East.

While reinterpretation of older, traditional folk songs is a classical, especially in mūṃjas and laneika, there are many singer-songwriters in all styles; an example could be the most iconic Chlouvānem musician of the last century, | While reinterpretation of older, traditional folk songs is a classical, especially in mūṃjas and laneika, there are many singer-songwriters in all styles; an example could be the most iconic Chlouvānem musician of the last century, Kālomitāvi Kaihanųu ''Dalaigin'', a native Hālyanēṃṣi but trained into laneika music, who has not only been a prolific laneika composer - so much that some of his pieces are true classics of the genre today - but has also experimented in other genres and in instrumentation, having introduced into laneika unconventional and electronic instruments. He was so popular that his sudden death in his 51st year of age shocked the whole country, with 600,000 people gathering in Hālyanēṃṣah to bring homage to his funeral pyre. | ||
More modern styles are heavily influenced by these three “standard” genres, but have typically experimentation in song structures. Electronic music has become very popular in the last thirty years, with various music scenes (often associated with particular cities) with wildly different genres, influenced by different styles, often including Chlouvānem classical music; while the most popular artists usually play music of the three main genres, a few electronic musicians have achieved wide success, like Lūlenišāvi Kaiɂašaltīs ''Turabayān'', a native Līlikanāni, with his downtempo-like, cinematic, mostly instrumental pieces, heavily inspired by classical music and often included in movie soundtracks. Another extremely important act in newer Chlouvānem music is Līlasuṃghāṇi brother-and-sister duo made of Nīmulšāmyāvi Linaštamīs ''Ṣastirvam'' and ~ Linaštæša ''Lañimulca'', making an experimental, completely electronic style, mixing traditional influences and rhythms with others taken more from Western and Skyrdegan classical music. | More modern styles are heavily influenced by these three “standard” genres, but have typically experimentation in song structures.
