The African music style is very different from other music styles. In African music, the emphasis lies primarily on rhythm (usually drum rhythms), and the music is not bound by rules. Whereas in Western music, melody and harmony play an important role. Western music, for example, uses four-quarter time signatures that African music does not, which can make African music sound strange to the ears of a Western listener. The precursor to harmony was polyphony, and the African counterpart to polyphony is polyrhythm, the simultaneous production of different rhythms. Another difference between polyphony and rhythm is that polyphony is perceptible at a single moment, whereas hearing a rhythm requires more time. This explains the repetitions in African music. However, African music also contains melody, although less attention is paid to it in Africa than to rhythm. The melody of African music usually proceeds as follows: at the beginning there is a strong ascent, followed by a slow melodic descent without the key changing. One of the most frequently used forms in African music is antiphony. In this form, the soloist and the choir sing alternately, with the soloist usually improvising. Polyphony also occurs in African music sometimes, albeit to a lesser extent.
