Earliest records of what would nowadays be called traditional Baphian music goes to about 1000 CE, with low tempos, about 60-80 BPM, usually a quartet of 4 different instruments. Usually there is no lyrics unless it was written for an [[Baphian opera|opera]] or is more contemporary and experimental with the genre.
