From the book:
What Is Body Music?:
It can be accidental sounds, responses to pain, surprise, fear. But there are also folk traditions of many different countries that use body percussion, which is the art of using the body to create vibrations and sounds. Examples of body percussion include West Africa’s hambone, Ethiopian armpit music, and the hand clapping in Spanish Flamenco.
