===''Tsoafta''===

Hlou influence on Rhythoed music led to the development of a uniquely Rhythoed tradition of purely rhythmic music, called ''tsoafta'' (from Rhythoed ''tsoaf'' 'game' + Hlou ''Tal''), 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.

''Tsoafta'' in the Romantic era was thought of primarily as a sport rather than a musical style, and many ''tsoafta'' artists became cultural icons.
