		Most musical ideas must be played in a narrow range of tempos, usually a 30 or 40 beat range to sound their best.
		A timeline in African music is usually a repeated pattern that lasts 6, 12 or 24 beats, that spends a little more or less than half of its time visiting the on beats, makes a skip to the off beats, and then skips back to on beats at the end of the cycle.
