| contents | Instrumental texture and heterophony in a fon repertoire for drums Marcos Branda Lacerda Arte Fon Music African Drumming West African Music Among the basic elements that characterizes the repertoires of traditional percussionensembles in Western Africa is the formation of a rhythmic texture, which acts permanentlyduring a musical performance. The texture consists of fixed patterns distributed among severalinstruments whose parts contrast with the extreme mobility of the solo drum, while at the sametime providing a structural foundation for its performance. This study intends to present theinstrumental parts that form the rhythmic texture in a Fon repertoire. In addition, it will be shownhow the master drummer assimilates structures from the rhythmic texture for the construction ofhis own part. Due to stylistic peculiarities and also to the methodology used for the study of thesolo drum´s part, the use of filtering and acoustic measurements to facilitate listening andcomprehension of the separate parts will be reflected here 2007 artículo científico 1697-0101 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=82201110 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=822 Trans.
