Ghana (India) - Ghana

…It is said that the Vedas were once divided into a thousand schools, but three schools remain as documents today. The collection, the Samhita, is divided into the ārcika, which contains only the lyrics of the hymns, and the gāna, which shows the melody with special symbols and the length and repetition of syllables that occur when singing. Most of the lyrics of the hymns themselves are taken from the Rig-Veda, and there are very few original ones. …

From [Buddhist Music]

The hymns are interspersed with syllables such as "ah" or "hai" and are sometimes repeated word by word. These songs are called gana and are currently handed down in three schools.
[Buddha and Music]
The Buddha himself did not engage in any musical activities.
