A bell pattern is a rhythmic pattern, often a key pattern[1][2] (also known as a guide pattern,[3] phrasing referent,[4] timeline,[5] or asymmetrical timeline[6]), struck on an Idiophone, in most cases, a metal bell, such as an agogô, gankoqui, or cowbell, or a hollowed piece of wood, or wooden claves. In contemporary music, bell patterns are also played on the metal shell of the timbales, and drum kit cymbals. Sub-Saharan African music[edit] Bantu migrations: 1 = 2000–1500 BC origin; 2 = ca.1500 BC first migrations; 2.a = Eastern Bantu; 2.b = Western Bantu; 3 = 1000–500 BC Urewe nucleus of Eastern Bantu; 4–7 = southward advance; 9 = 500 BC–0 Congo nucleus; 10 = 0–1000 AD last phase Use of African bell patterns is found primarily within the Niger–Congo language family (yellow and yellow-green).

Throughout Africa, wherever these gongs have occurred they have been manufactured by the same process of welding the two halves together along a wide flange. Axatse Play. Funk. Etymology[edit] The word funk as applied in the music world initially referred to a strong odor. The anthropologist/art historian Robert Farris Thompson, in his work Flash Of The Spirit: African & Afro-American Art & Philosophy, postulates that funky has its semantic roots in the Kikongo word "lu-fuki", which means "bad body odor". He says: "Both jazzmen and Bakongo use funky and lu-fuki to praise persons for the integrity of their art, for having 'worked out' to achieve their aims" supposedly meant to signify "the irradiation of positive energy of a person. Hence 'funk' in American jazz parlance can mean earthiness, a return to fundamentals".[3] African-American jazz musicians originally applied the term to music with a slow, mellow groove.

Then it evolved to a rather hard-driving, insistent rhythm, implying a more carnal quality. This early form of the music set the pattern for later musicians.[4] The music was identified as slow, "sexy", loose, riff-oriented and danceable. Chic - Everybody Dance.
