What is Understanding Indigenous Colombian Music about?

Indigenous music in Colombia is difficult to define due to its great diversity and how different it is from Western concepts of music. It serves a different purpose in indigenous societies compared to other cultures. Some key characteristics include the predominant use of shakers for timbre rather than rhythm, imitation of nature sounds through layered vocalizations, free-flowing rhythms, and untempered tunings.
