    FAQ – African Music

    How do I keep the soundtrack respectful and avoid clichés?

    Use authentic instruments and steady grooves instead of caricatured riffs. Let the visuals lead, and keep vocal textures subtle and supportive.

    What tempos work for travel footage and interviews?

    Walking tours sit well around 90–110 BPM. For interviews, choose slower beds with soft percussion so the voice remains clear.

    Instrumental or song vibe for an opener?

    Instrumentals are safest under narration and captions. A gentle song-style hook helps titles or logo moments without stealing focus.

    How can I use drums without muddying the mix?

    Pick one main groove and keep lows controlled. Add light shakers on top, and dip percussion slightly before key lines.

    Can I loop music for longer sequences?

    Cut on bar lines and loop the middle section. Return to the original ending for a clean button that lands on titles.

    What formats should I deliver to editors or platforms?

    Share WAV for mastering and archiving. Use high-quality MP3 when a platform or tool requests compressed files.

    How do I avoid platform claims when posting widely?

    License the track and save the PDF with your project. If needed, enable Hide Content ID and upload one version first.

    Is this page about specific regional traditions?

    These are contemporary, African-inspired instrumentals for general use. For country-specific traditions, consult specialists or use dedicated collections.
