This chapter quickly dips into early musical styles from all over the world. Native Americans (here represented by modern folk groups like Northern Wind and The Boyz) explored the extremes of vocal contrast. Maori groups in New Zealand developed a resonant harmonic style, showcased on Tatsi Bamboo Band’s “Bougainville Island.” Rasta Mombasa opens “Nne” with a circular Kenyan folk melody, and steadily lets the beat build.
