| fitting your notes into the spaces of other people parts to create a greater whole. In African music this type of practice occurs at micro levels (the two hands interlock playing mbira) and the macro level of organization (e.g. call and response singing). This is like a heightened, stylized version of what should take place in a good, interactive, conversation and is key for creating and representing social synchrony |

a)buzzy timbres: this feature is built into many african musical instruments (eg bottle caps on mbira or metal jangles on the kora), and the ubiquitous use of shakers creates a buzzy aura around entire ensembles
b) wide tuning: the tuning of unisons an doctaves slightly apart creates density through complex overtones and ocmbination tones
c) overlapping textures: may include overlaying multiple polyphonic vocal and instrumental parts, staggered beginnings an dendings, heterophony (buzzy timbres also help here). Dense, overlapping textures seem to contradict the "cleaner" principle of interlock (fitting into spaces). In fact the two frequently work together in African music performance, e.g. two interlocking shaker parts create a whole that overlaps other parts |

| "Ground" and "Elaboration" Part Organization |
|
Definition
| “Ground” or “Core” parts supply the basic rhythmic-melodic-harmonic framework for a performance. Ground parts are typically limited in the amount of contrast or variation that can be introduced by that player/singer/dancer. “Elaboration” roles or parts provide variations and improvisation. A lead drummer, for example, may improvise musical variations, drum speech phrases, or imitate the rhythms of a dancer’s movements, whereas the support drummers, shaker players, and bell player must keep to repetitive, stable, ground patterns. These parts do not necessarily correlate with expert and less experienced performers, sometimes experts are needed to hold up the core parts. |

| ) Intense Repetition and Long Performances: |
|
Definition
| Pieces and especially the ground parts tend to be repeated for a long time with intensive variations added slowly, if at all. The greater need for a part to ground the overall performance, the greater the need for repetition in that part. The basic rhythmic flow of a performance, carried by certain ground parts, tends not to be altered. Long repetition correlates with participatory dance music, and shifting interlocking relationships within the group—both aiding heightened social syncing. |
