Exploring the Rich Diversity of Nigerian Music Genres (Afri-inleo Initiative 1)

in AFRI-TUNES7 months ago

I love the fact that music is done with Diversity and the way we do music here in Nigeria is different from the way music is been done in the united state, and also even within Nigeria we have different tribes and they have the way music is been done and thanks to #Afritunes community i will talk about them one after the other because i have been privileged to travel to many places within nigeria through the help of music and i can say music is really nice.

MUSIC AND CULTURE.jpg

Starting with the different type of instrument which i thought i have seen it all and also the name of those instruments which are producing better sounds and i never thought those things can be so useful in music line, The first time i travelled to the eastern part of the country through the help of a close friend who invited me for a wedding program and when i got there and i saw the musical band who started playing, i was forced to stand up from where i was sitting to check out those instrument and the first one i saw was looking like a pot or let me say it's a pot made of clay burnt and using a flat object to hit it then the sound coming out was so nice making the music production so cool.

That part of the eastern music here is traditional style and there is no place that kind of music will be played and i won't know the part of people in the country that plays it. Another part of music is the genre which some part in the country love doing the classical type which basically deals with reading musical pieces and sight singing where four part are been utilized which are the soprano, alto, tenor and bass which are literally the basis of music.

The Fuji and Juju

Now this is one of the widest music style in africa specifically nigeria and this is greatly acceptable in yoruba land especially when there is a special event, the composure of those music are always top notch because there is always presence of talking drum, I know most might be wondering what a talking drum is? it is actually an instrument that people tagged as one which can say things through playing it. so looking at the fuji and juju which i talked about earlier, we have the gospel juju and this is just the part where music are been dynamic.

Music is just so special as it is everywhere and culture made it more intresting,
