	Nigerian Music
		Nigerian music also utilizes ostinato rhythms, in which a rhythmic pattern is repeated, and variable metres which change the time signature of a piece of music.
		Traditional music from Nigeria is almost always functional; that is, performed to mark a ritual such as a wedding or funeral, and not for pure entertainment or artistic enjoyment.
		The most common format for music in Nigeria is a call-and-response choir, in which a lead singer and a chorus interchange verses, sometimes accompanied by instruments which either shadow the lead text or repeat and ostinato vocal phrase.

		Cooperation with western countries is mostly based on the presentation of Nigerian arts and crafts, or Nigerian music to the western audiences, and on the transfer of knowledge on cultural institutions and activities from the West.
		King probably coined the word juju, a style of music he helped create, in reference to the sound of a Brazilian tambourine or perhaps to the term's use as an expression of disdain by the colonial leaders (any native tradition was apt to be dismissed as mere juju nonsense) [19].

	Igbo Music: Where Are The Gongs And Flutes?
		Igbo music has become so sequestered that the classic tunes and rhythms for which the Igbos were known for have become a rarity in Nigerian parlance.
		In contemporary Nigerian music, there are a few distinct musicians that have criss-crossed generational boundaries and have become acceptable to most Nigerians, and by extension the international community.
		Those who stand out in hip hop music trace their musical influence mainly to their humble beginnings in A.J. City (Ajegunle Lagos), the cradle of contemporary Naija hip hop sounds!Even in the hip hop scene, the Yoruba feel is so palpable that it can't escape detection.

		Similar to the piano music written by Ayo Bankole, who also studied at the Guildhall from 1957 to 1961; Uzoigwe's piano music at Guildhall shows the influence of the various styles he was exposed to.
		His intention was to develop a general theory of African music, based on an orderly and systematic analysis of the structure of music and its meaning to both performers and audiences.
		In the process, Uzoigwe proposed that music is a social fact and the organization of tones is the result of decision making by the resultant shape created by the musicians' molding of their musical conceptions in conformity to the social-event structure with which the music and/or musical performance is associated.

		Likewise, it may be easier to sing Igbo as a starting point, then the speaking follows accordingly because a young child can speak several languages when he or she is taught.
		More Igbo writers, comedians and musicians, should be encouraged by state governments, for the documentation and preservation of our language, for it is better and easier to keep a language alive than to bring it back from the dead.

		As one of the earlier “world music” performers to reach the global stage, Nigeria’s most famous juju musician has enjoyed a long career on these shores.
		But never has he attempted to tour African-style, where concert-goers can practice the tradition of “spraying”—a form of arts patronage in which audience members simultaneously offer money to the performer while themselves receiving recognition in the form of “praise singing.” Until now.
		Though the Yoruba and Igbo fought civil wars in the past, they both share a strong reputation for their contributions to traditional and popular culture in Nigeria and maintain strong traditions of praise singing.

	* Dusted Reviews - V/A *
		The complex rhythmic interplay and inherent structural and aesthetic underpinnings of Yoruba and Igbo music are a big part of the reason why Nigerian Highlife and Juju were able to blend so perfectly with “imported” funk grooves in the 1960s and ’70s.
		Afro Baby, a welcome collection of material from this era, provides not only pure listening pleasure, but some illumination of musical history: the selection of music here could serve as an essay and evidence attesting to the truth that there was much more to the West African soul/funk movement than Fela’s Afro-beat.
		Indeed, one of the great thrills to be gained from immersion in the classic era of African pop is the chance to experience a plethora of approaches and stylistic blends, each as original, viable, and fully-realized as the other, yet still rooted in the essence and energy of African traditional music.
