Riphean music is based on folk songs called stērvėnje (literally "old song"). A famous stērvėnje is "Wexraskaunipe" (Evening Beauty), which has been set to music several times by Riphean composers. During the Nōje Niđjaste ("New Self-ness") artistic renaissance there was a revival of Riphean folk elements in the arts and music.

A popular Riphean folk instrument is the kautil, a 7 string harp resembling the Finnish kantele but with movable bridges.

Vocal and choral music is extremely popular in Riphea, so much so that Riphea is often called "vėnjecema" (the land of song). Choral composition is a very rich tradition and many public figures in Riphea are also choral composers and songwriters, an example being the current prime minister of Riphea, Wėnima Retaszūnu.
