Africa (ǽfrɪkə) is a genre of music that originated on the continent of Africa. This type of music relies heavily on the drum. The drums are often handmade and are played with sticks or with the hands. The music also features finger pianos, finger bells, and flutes. The African style of music relies heavily on storytelling and dancing. Call and response is also a popular form in African music. The vocalist sings a line and then the audience responds in answer. This form of African music is very much evident in many of the gospel songs, even today.
