Music of Liberia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Music of Liberia
The music of Liberia is less modern than the music of neighboring countries; it uses many tribal beats and often one of the native dialects, or vernacular. ==Traditional music== The indigenous ethnic groups of Liberia can be linguistically divided into three groups: those in the east who speak the isolate Gola language and the Mel languages (particularly Kissi) and those in the west who speak Kru languages (particularly Bassa). To these must be added the Mande people (the Kpelle are Liberia's largest ethnic group) in the north as well as Liberian repatriates (Americo-Liberians, Congo, Caribbean). Liberian music makes particular use of vocal harmony, repetition and call-and-response song structure as well as such typical West African elements as ululation and the polyrhythm typical of rhythm in Sub-Saharan Africa. Christian music was introduced to Liberia by American missionaries and Christian songs are now sung in a style that mixes American harmonies with West African language, rhythm and call-and-response format. Traditional music is performed at weddings, naming ceremonies, royal events and other special occasions, as well as ordinary children's songs, work songs and lullabies. Rap and pop music are also performed in indigenous languages across the country.
