Varies widely by region

Anchors rather than an exhaustive canon — if your track sits near these, this is probably the right label.

Usual tempo 40–200 BPM. Sitting outside that range does not disqualify a track; it just makes the tells matter more.

Easy to confuse with

The nearest neighbours in World, by tempo. If Traditional / Regional does not quite fit, one of these usually does.

Afrobeats100–115 BPM
Contemporary West African pop. Bouncy syncopated percussion, warm melodic basslines, bright guitar or marimba figures and a relaxed vocal swing.
Amapiano110–118 BPM
South African house derivative built around the "log drum" — a deep, bending percussive bass hit — with airy piano chords, shakers and lots of space.
