Nigeria has many traditional and popular forms of African music and has been called the heart of African music due to its role in musical development. The essential element is polyrhythm, with two or more rhythms played simultaneously. There are different types of Nigerian music including Hausa, Igbo using drums and xylophones, and Yoruba music which has been most influential on modern Nigerian pop due to its blending of European, Islamic, and Brazilian styles, with all types using common instruments.
