Vocal polyphony is an important part of Shalian music, especially in coming of age parties, festivities, and funerals. Singers may also clap, snap their fingers and make various gestures. Sung music follows the clipped vowels, stress accent and long-short rhythms of the Shalian language, giving it a sound that sounds "theatrical" to Anglophone ears.
