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
