I found this example on YouTube, and I chose this song because it was similar to the Polyrhythmic ensemble we listened to in class. In this song, the listener can hear the call and response from the leader and the group, which is very similar to the first example in class. Additionally, there are multiple bells, rattles, drums, and clapping being played throughout the song. Moreover, all of the percussion instruments and the chanting give an upbeat dance feel to the song. The function of this song is a Ghana welcoming song and seems to be played by amateur musicians apart of the community.
