Traditional Rusani music is known as dastgah, it is vocal based, accompanied by multiple string and wind instruments, as well as percussions. The kings of Nasrad maintained elaborate orchestras to play for them and high dignitaries. A less sumptuous version of dastgah was common in towns and villages, sometimes performers would sing with a single {{wp|Qanun}} as accompaniment. The tradition of the dastgah orchestra was not lost with the Muslim invasions, different tones and elements from western [[Audonia]]n music were integrated into the whole. Contact with foreign influences added new instruments to the music scene such as the [[Daxia]]n gong and wind chimes and Burgoignesc lutes. Rusana's widespread religiosity has stunted the penetration of 'western' music styles, it is seen as threatening the moral fiber of the young and fundamentally irreligious, nonetheless it is available in parts of the capital and the southern governorates which tend toward being more liberal.
