A call and response song is a musical form where a leader (the "caller") sings or plays a phrase, and then a group of musicians or the audience (the "responders") repeat or respond with a different phrase. This creates a back-and-forth interaction that adds energy and engagement to the music. It is commonly used in various Music Genres like gospel, blues, and traditional African music to create a sense of unity and participation among the performers and listeners.

Call and response in African music?

Call and response is common not only in Samba music but in many forms of jazz and even popular music. It is when an instrumentalist or singer will play a phrase, and either another member of the band or the audience will repeat that phrase back or at least a variation of the phrase. Check out Cab Calloway's "Minnie the Moocher" from The Blues Brothers Soundtrack and watch his interaction with the audience. Though this isn't Samba music, it's the same idea for call and response. For some call and response where two musicians go back and forth, but vary their responses, check out Béla Fleck and the Flecktones: Live at the Quick. The song "Big Country" has some fantastic call and response between Victor Wooten on bass and Jeff Coffin on sax.


How is the style work song of jazz different from the other?

A work song is typically a melody with a call-response format, and will be quite bluesy. Call-response because that would help you in slave labour - to have a leader sing a call, and then you sing the response, shovelling more dirt with every line of the song. It is likely to be bluesy because that would describe the emotions of the labouring slave. A famous jazz work song is 'Work Song' by Nathaniel Adderley, found on 'Them Dirty Blues' by Cannonball Adderley (1960). This is a perfect example of the influence of slave work songs on popular jazz music. Other songs from this album do not have this call-and-response quality and are less bluesy, so are not work songs.

What is sentimental music?

Sentimental music is music that triggers an emotional response. If a child seems happier or sadder when listening to the Barney song then that music is sentimental to that child. Say you and your mate loved a particular song, a song that in time made both of you feel better, happier, and in time it made you also feel nostalgic. Then if you lose that mate, the song may have the opposite effect, making you feel sad. In each case the song is sentimental but depending on circumstance can cause a different emotional response.
