	Latin American Music - MSN Encarta
		Musicians used a variety of scales, and music and dance were closely associated with state and religious activities, as well as with agricultural ceremonies in the Andes.
		Indigenous Andean music is characterized by a preference for dense, fuzzy timbres (tone colors) and, as with Native American music in Mexico and among lowland groups, for intense repetition of short musical ideas within a piece.
		Indigenous music tends to be monophonic (consisting of a single, unharmonized melody) or heterophonic (consisting of two or more parts playing the same melody in varied ways), although in southern Peru and Bolivia the use of parallel fourths and fifths (see Harmony) is common for panpipe and flute ensembles.

	Latin Music
		Latin American music, sometimes simply called Latin music, includes the music of many countries and comes in many varieties, from the simple, rural conjunto music of northern Mexico to the sophisticated habanera of Cuba, from the symphonies of Heitor Villa-Lobos to the simple and moving Andean flute.
		Some elements of African music, most commonly the emphasis on rhythm, have been suggested as having a biological basis, though this is no longer generally accepted among scholars and has been refuted by several studies.

	British deejay puts new spin on live music
		For many Southern California fans, the snapshot of Oakenfold in their mind is from the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2002 when he became the first (and last) DJ on the main stage of the desert affair.
