One of the most universal musical forms throughout West Africa is call and response music.

Call and response refer to the phenomena of a call from someone and then an immediate reply from the listener. In the 'call and response music,' the solo singer raises the song, and then it is continued by the chorus. They also join the song as a response to the soloist.

In the current period, we can find traces of call and response music in various music forms like salsa, rumba, cha-cha-chá, and timba.
