Answer to Question 1

 Mostly kumengo (a continually repeated pattern)

Answer to Question 2

 When the emphasis is on the text, the kora player accompanies the singer with kumbengo, an instrumental ostinato . . . This part establishes the tonal and metric framework of a piece.
 Virtuosic instrumental passages (birimintingo) provide interludes between vocal sections.
