| dc.description.abstract | This study examines functional aesthetics of “Orin Opa” traditional vocal music of the people of Igbomina in Nigeria. These functions shall be viewed in terms of the social satirical, historical, identity and entertainment functions. This work is approached through the descriptive methodology, interviews and library search that are relevant to our discourse. Interestingly, it was discovered that, pure vocal music still exists and some Nigerian vocal music types still retain their traditional style and are yet to embrace Western musical styles and contemporary idioms 1 in their performances which has limited their reception outside their traditional domains. The paper concludes that, musicians of “Orin Opa” should open up and embrace modernisation, Western musical style and contemporary idioms in their performance. This we hope, will give the music a new look without necessarily losing its originality. | en_US |
