===''Tsoafta''===

Hlou influence on Windermere music in the Wieb region of Bjeheond led to the development of a ~~unique~~ tradition of purely rhythmic music, called ''tsoafta'' (from Windermere ''tsoaf'' 'game, play' + Hlou ''Ta''), played almost exclusively on percussion instruments. But violin family instruments were adapted to this style; performers would strike different parts of their instruments with their fingers, and tune the strings so low that they hit against the fingerboard producing a loud percussive effect. The rhythms used were often extremely fast and complicated and polyrhythms were common.
