dancing only, there is no leader, some instruments are played together such as the
panpipe , nobody is suppose to stand out but to “play as one”, collect
brainstorming for new music and rehearsal with unique rules, some communities
only play in groups but other groups play solos when by themselves

highland Indians- For example: Suya focus more on vocals than wind
instruments like the highland Indians, they have more solos and have every sing

animals whereas highlands focus on agriculture which is there environment \
