Intro

Bikutsi

A Cameroonian dance genre that emerged among the Beti people in the mid-20th century as the musical accompaniment to parties, funerals, and weddings. It prominently features the balafon and guitars modified with dampened strings to resemble the sound of the balafon. Bikutsi is typically in 6 (3+3).

Relationships
Parents	Pop	Popular music, for lack of a better term. Consists almost entirely of short-to-medium length songs, with heavy use of verse-chorus structures and a strong emphasis on melodicism and catchiness. Has no singular sound - often incorporates the popular sounds of the day (thus pop was synonymous with rock through the 60s, picked up elements of EDM in the late 2000s/early 2010s, and often features trap beats in the late 2010s). UMG's bread and butter.
