Bantu music refers to the diverse musical traditions of the Bantu-speaking peoples of Africa, primarily found in regions such as Central Africa, Southern Africa, and parts of East Africa. This music often features complex rhythms, call-and-response patterns, and the use of traditional instruments like the mbira, djembe, and various types of flutes. The themes in Bantu music often revolve around daily life, spirituality, and social issues, reflecting the culture and history of the Bantu communities. Songs are typically performed during ceremonies, celebrations, and communal gatherings, serving as a means of storytelling and cultural expression.
