There is first the poetry of religious inspiration composed by the Mohammedan learned men, the 'Malams' (sing. malamt, pl. mdlamdy). This poetry is circulated in written form and employs classical Arabic meters. It is usually sung without instrumental accompaniment. The other main type is that of the itinerant individual singer and drummer who sings in the intervals between the dances. This poetry is unwritten; the subject matter is nonreligious, comprising the three genres of yabo 'song of praise,' zambo 'satire,' and bege 'love song.' It is sung with instrumental accompaniment. Though the rhythm is quantitative
