Khobeh has been well-known for its intricate musical traditions and forms, varying from melismatic acapella music to complex drumming cadences with improvised interpolations, which have largely influenced that of the rest of the eastern Nkungu area. How the average Khobehi enjoys music is largely dependent on class and area; rural Khobehi often enjoy music from traditional bards who play in village squares, while Khobehi in urban areas often go to dance halls (''njanja'') where bands play ''njanja'' music. Njanja music, however, does not have the same popularity among wealthier Khobehi people, many of which find the genre to be crude. Instead, many go to auditoriums or polished ''njanja wukha'' ('glass njanja') where bands play imported Hashdezi genres, or enjoy imported music at home from a gramophone.	+	The music of Khobeh primarily includes indigenous Nyamu music and distinguished modernized variants stemming from it, with some influences from the minority cultures of the nation.

	The most prominent music of Khobeh and neighboring nations is ''giranyia'', a genre focusing on the ''gira'' string instrument. Giranyia is named after the large orchestras of gira players (of the same name) who play this music in public areas. Historically, any music involving the gira was associated with rural life, but in the 4590s CY rural gira players began flocking to busy cities in large groups to play at njanjas. These groups eventually piqued the interest of former Mbolu Búlà Jufelàkalà [[Bų̄̀lą̀ Akpàlamùą̀ Kàṣi\|Kàṣi]], who sponsored them to play at auditoriums internationally. Due to these circumstances, giranyia is the only genre in Khobeh that enjoys equal popularity from both rural and urban life of all classes.

	Shortly after the collapse of the [[Bosso Empire]] in 2327 CY, four kingdoms arose from its former provinces, each of which were named after the dynasties of their ruling chiefs; the former province Alanku became Bosso-Kafue, the former province Ilafu became Bosso-Luakor, the former province Odo became Bosso-Muadu, the former province Eshinku became Bosso-Afa. The rulers of these four kingdoms each claimed to be the de jure successors of the Empire (hence the kingdoms' names starting with "Bosso"), and sought to reunite the former Bosso territories under their dynasty. The Hlong kingdom of [[Mongklor]] was also founded, but did not claim Bosso succession. Contention between the four Bosso kingdoms sparked a 5-year war, eventually ending in a stalemate.

−	After the war officially ended, the four kings involved appeared at the historic city of Khobeh (modern-day [[Kashinkhor]]) in 2535 CY to sign the ''Kàri-Jąkhą'' treaty, unifying the four nations as the Khobeh Confederation. The Confederation was successful until the same power struggles arose again, causing civil war between the regions and the secession of Bosso-Afa from the Confederation in 2677 CY. Warrior [[Bų̄̀lą̀ Akpàlamùą̀ Kàṣi]] overthrew the king of the Kafue region with the help of several ~~other~~ clan leaders, eventually conquering the remaining Confederation and crowning himself king of a centralized Khobeh in 2727 CY.	+	After the war officially ended, the four kings involved appeared at the historic city of Khobeh (modern-day [[Kashinkhor]]) in 2535 CY to sign the ''Kàri-Jąkhą'' treaty, unifying the four nations as the Khobeh Confederation.

−	The music of Khobeh primarily includes indigenous Nyamu music and the distinguished modernized variants stemming from it, with some influences from the minority cultures of the nation. Khobeh has been well-known for its intricate musical traditions and forms, varying from melismatic acapella music to complex drumming cadences with improvised interpolations, which have largely influenced that of the rest of the eastern Nkungu area. Within Khobehi culture, there is a traditional divide between vernacular music (''shanyia'' \| ''ṣàñia'') and high class music (''shafelila'' \| ''ṣàfelilà''), ~~each form~~ having a set of distinct rhythms and instrumentation to match certain situations. ''Shanyia'' music is highly resemblant of Nyamu folk music; monophonic, improvisational, and following call-and-response patterns. ''Shanyia'' music is often either played at generic celebrations and festivals for dancing, or to accompany labor. ''Shafelila'' music, on the other hand, features more complex heterophonic melodies and does not feature call-and-response patterns. Melodic lines may be improvised as in ''shanyia'', but are set to fixed lyrics. ''Shafelila'' music is often either played in praise of nobility or royalty, or for religious ceremonies.	+	The music of Khobeh primarily includes indigenous Nyamu music and the distinguished modernized variants stemming from it, with some influences from the minority cultures of the nation.
