Discussion Questions
34
Why would different types of flutes be prone for
use in Peru?
35
How might we catalogue the guitar variants that
developed throughout Latin America from colonial
times?
36
What examples of sesquialtera might we find in
classical music or the popular music of our
culture?
37
In what ways might marimba playing be compared to
Shona mbira playing?
38
Panpipes were as prevalent in ancient Greek and
Roman societies as they have been in Peru. What
might be the connection, if there is any? Are
the two traditions completely unrelated? If so,
why cant they be related?
39
Why and how did West African religion and music
bind with Catholicism in Brazil in the form of
candomblé?
