Not all music-cultures have a word for “music” (as is found in the familiar Euro-American music-culture). Other music-cultures have a word that roughly translates as “music-dance.” Give some examples to illustrate this idea. (Answers may vary.)
What will be an ideal response?
• Traditional Rosans (in the former Yugoslav area) have no general equivalent to the English "music," instead they divide what we call music into persui (songs) and muzika (instrumental music).
• Old-time Southern Baptists may say they don't have any music in their religious service, meaning they don't have instrumental music accompanying their singing.
• Other music-cultures have words for song types, such as lullaby, epic, and so on, but no overall word for "music."
