The tempo of the song in music Gamat and Malay, in general, has a flowing pattern, calm and agile. Where musical composition structure Gamat and Malay are almost the same, consisting of four parts of melodic movement. The sections include torch songs, door track, variation, lock. Flashlight (a local term) means lighting so that singers focus on the song to be sung from all technical matters, especially the basic notes; the door of the song as a signal when the singer begins to enter; variation is a short melodic theme as a filler between the song text sentences with a sampiran pattern and content. Then, lock (key), the melody with a dual role as the opening song and closing song. Then the form of the song lyric is a four-line rhyme consisting of two sampiran lines and a content line. Even though the structure pattern of the song is Gamat and Malay are generally the same, the difference between these two types of music is the language of poetry used. Gamat music uses the Minangkabau regional language, while Malay music uses Indonesian (Malay). In this second stage of the research, the compositions of Gamat and Malay were "jumped together" as cognate music which was performed in one of the Malay musical enclaves in Sumatra, precisely in Medan City. The music is presented in an orchestra format.
