a range Mayotte

Every people has its range or its preferred range (s). These are sets of sounds that, for a given people, seem to go well together. They seem to come naturally and form the basis for the music of people who chose them. They are like a musical signature of these peoples. If I play the following sentence on a Gabus,


you can feel transported somewhere between Iraq and Morocco. This effect is flying carpet because the sentence uses the notes of a range very widely practiced in the West when it is used widely in the Arab world.

Now if I play this,


you back immediately in Mayotte since I used the notes of the scale we hear most in Mayotte, one of which is used in and around the Mgodro rumbu. This range

Mayotte corresponds to what is known in western music myxolydien mode or method of Sol or the mode of the fifth degree.

To explain these words, I take an example with the C major scale as everyone knows (C, D, E, F, G, A, C). If I keep the same notes, no sharps or flats, but instead of starting to return to the Do Do, I insist on the Floor (fifth scale degree of C) so that the soil appears to be the base note, I no longer hear the C major scale. I hear the fashion myxolydien this range, I hear of Soil myxolydien and it does not sound at all in the same way as the C major scale. That's the mystery of fashion.

If now I want to hear from myxolydien Do I have to, while turning around C, that play a B ♭ instead of Si, as in the range of F which Do is the fifth degree. Not to mention

modes, one can say otherwise a range myxolydienne is like a major scale, but the seventh grade is lower than half a ton. So a major scale with a minor seventh. I would note that minor seventh ♭ VII in the following diagram which gives the fingering on the gaboussi, the range that everyone uses here.

Roman numerals correspond to the degrees of the scale (1st grade, 2nd grade ...). If you are granted Do, I will be a Do, It will be a D, the III an E, etc..

Here's what it gives with gaboussi granted Sol:


It goes without saying that very few Mahorais have never heard this term barbaric "myxolydien. They play it by ear, as generations of rockers have played this


without doubt at all that they used the same method myxolydien.
