"A distinct section in North Indian classical music is known as sawaal-javaab (question-answer). Primarily an instrumental technique, the sawaal-javaab occurs between two artists. One artist will present a melodically and rhythmically challenging riff which will be either replicated or improved upon by the other artist" from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_and_response_(music)
A contemporary example of call and response in Western Music is from Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe".
CALL: Hey I just met you
RESPONSE: (Violins)
CALL: And this is crazy
RESPONSE: (Violins)
This technique is utilized in Jepsen's song several times. While mostly in the chorus, it can also be heard in the breakdown (approximately 2:25) between the vocals ("It's hard to look right") and distorted guitar.
