They are diverse and include lyrical songs that reflect the feelings of the moment, dances that mimic the movements of animals or plants, dances to ward off evil spirits, work dances that accompany tasks such as pounding grain, and entertaining dramatic dances. The terminology used to describe songs and dances varies by region, such as <em>rimse<\/em>, <em>horippa<\/em>, <em>upopo<\/em>, and <em>heciri<\/em>.
