The traditional Rapan style of music is a blend of {{wp|Music of Polynesia|traditional Polynesian island music}} with introduced influences of {{wp|Islamic music}}, particularly music related to religious ceremony. Most historians believe Islamic music related a purely liturgical form of music for the first several centuries after the introduction of Islam to Rapa Rapa, with Rapan culture viewing it as an elevated worship tool and different than the "folk" music popular outside of worship. | The traditional Rapan style of music is a blend of {{wp|Music of Polynesia|traditional Polynesian island music}} with introduced influences of {{wp|Islamic music}}, particularly music related to religious ceremony.

Common instruments include traditional pre-Islamic instruments such as the {{wp|Nose flute|nose flute}} and types of wooden drums, which exist alongside Islamic-influenced vocal styles and some other [[Audonia]]n innovations, most especially {{wp|gong}}s. Due to the lack of natural metal resources on Rapa Rapa, gongs were highly prized during the pre-Urcean period and only rarely available, and accordingly gongs have a place of prominence in some traditional Rapa Rapa music as being associated with clerics or powerful chiefs. | ||
