Answer to Question 1

 From the 1930s popular Chinese music was associated with the film industry centered in Shanghai. Many film songs were performed by a small band using jazz- and Tin Pan Alley-inflected idioms to accompany a predominantly pentatonic melody sung in Mandarin by a female film star. . . . A minority of film songs drew on Chinese folk tunes accompanied by Chinese instruments or by a mixed Western-Chinese ensemble. Lyrics dealt with charming, romantic images, or social inequalities if by artists hoping to stir up a progressive social awareness.

Answer to Question 2

 The pasibutbut is sung in agricultural ritual at the start of the New Year by six or more men who don traditional robes and face inward as the music forms an offering designed to satisfy the Sky God, Dehanin.
 Unaccompanied male voices begin singing long tones, entering in staggered entrances with each other. The voices enter singing at different intervals; sometimes blending with each other in consonant intervals, sometimes clashing with each in dissonant intervals.
