The
Inuit of Greenland share a musical tradition with related tribes across the
Canadian regions of the Yukon, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories, as well
as the United States of Alaska and part of eastern Russia. The Greenlandic
Inuit are part of the Eastern Arctic orchestra; the eastern Arctic Inuit of
Canada and Alaska are part of the same music place as the Central Arctic Inuit,
as opposed to the different patterns of the western Inuit.

Greenlandic
Inuit music is largely based around singing and drumming, the latter being
generally reserved for large celebrations and other gatherings. Though there is
much traditional vocal music, there is no Inuit purely instrumental tradition
with no accompaniment by singing or dancing. Greenlandic drums are mainly frame
drums produce by animal skin stretched over a wooden frame and designed with
decorative and symbolic motifs by the percussion. Aside from drums, whistles,
buzzers and bull-roarers are also widespread and the jaw harp and fiddle are
both found most likely recent imports.
