fusion mixed fusion of something western and non western Interlock hocket melody is shared between 2 instruments so that one plays while the other rests need 2 to complete the pitch and melody Consort tropa all instruments in same family tuned together Indigenous cultural category based on similar cultural values Requinteando more skilled players can improvise when there is silence on the panpipes for more of a challenge Heterophony in sync but out of phase same melody but by different instruments same melody but a little off Folklorization trying to preserve a tradition but it creates a new one changes in context and meaning Indigenismo artistic movement mestizos established their own versions of indigenous traditions Culture shared habits of thought and behavior similar ways of thinking and acting Cosmopolitanism a type of cultural formation that is not place specific can have same values in different parts of world Cultural cohorts smaller croups embedded in the larger cultural

technology hierarchy individualism and presentational music open minded to other cultures Anti modernist cultural cohorts interested in folk music because they value simplicity as a cure to the stresses of their lives raised with capitalist values but they tend to drop them and gradually change them Silk and bamboo performed in teahouses starts slow picks up thick sound because of combination of strings and winds with high intonation heterophony same melody different instruments improvise embellish high register silk string bamboo flute informal setting participatory play from

than pitch level different skill levels large ensemble not tuned perfectly overlapping everyone welcome interlocking and hocketing context specific for certain times of year different instruments for dry and rainy season repetition AABBCC cyclical form melody repeats small differences distinguish one community from the next circle formation parallel polyphony same melody at different pitches all use same kind of instrument minor differences in songs are important because they are easy to learn music for doing not listening music is dance and dance is music walk in circles around musicians
