vamping

In music, vamping is the repeated use of a phrase through an entire song or the improvisation on top of a repeated phrase through a song. Looping, samples and grooves are all examples of vamping, as is almost all popular music with repeated chord progressions. It is not a negative attribute, but implies building on top of a groove to create a song.

The keyboardist used extensive vamping to create an intricate song based on a funk groove.

vamping

A word of the 60's and 70's used for the heavy assault on a person done by the police, usually during a political event or rally.

The vamping at that rally was brutal, they covered all the bases: clubbing, shoving, dragging, gassing, and even buckshot.
