Traditional African music is often very purpose-oriented with work songs, teaching songs and religious songs begin the main purpose for much of the vocal music. Thus, it is inseparably linked to the life and culture of African tradition. There are scenes of music and dance depicted in the form of rock paintings dating as far back as c. 6000 BCE. A history of migration means that different regional areas went on to exchange musical features, leading to a variety of different styles.
