 | | Mestizo music tends to be strophic—that is, the same music is repeated in each stanza of a song—with song texts in the Iberian-derived copla (four-line stanzas), decima (ten-line stanzas), and other forms. | | | Indigenous Andean music is characterized by a preference for dense, fuzzy timbres (tone colors) and, as with Native American music in Mexico and among lowland groups, for intense repetition of short musical ideas within a piece. | | | Indigenous music tends to be monophonic (consisting of a single, unharmonized melody) or heterophonic (consisting of two or more parts playing the same melody in varied ways), although in southern Peru and Bolivia the use of parallel fourths and fifths (see Harmony) is common for panpipe and flute ensembles. |

| | Rhumba is an American term for various Cuban song and dance genres--for example, the son or BOLERO, which are not actually rumbas but were popular dance music styles in the United States during the 1930s and '40s. | | | African musical features commonly retained include call and response singing, polyrhythms, extensive use of persistently repeated musical figures, and improvisation based on recurring short phrases. | | | As a type of ballroom dance, calypso resembles the rumba, and the music often is performed with conventional dance-band instruments. |
