Music and Culture

in AFRI-TUNES5 months ago (edited)

Nothing can separate our culture from music because it's like they are interwoven. I can proudly say the Yoruba tribe in Nigeria is fully represented in Music, when we talk of the Legendary Fela Anikulapo Kuti the king of Afrobeat, King Sunny Ade, Chief Ebenezer Obey, Sir Shina Peters, Ayinla omo Wura, Queen Salawa Abeni, Lagbaja among others, have really represented us well and use music to connect people together.

Apart from the Yoruba tribe, other tribes in Nigeria also have prominent musicians that have blessed us and still blessing us with good music up till date.

Other great Nigeria superstars like Burna boy, Davido, Simi, Adekunle Gold, Wizkid, Rema, Tiwa Savage, Yemi Alade, Don Jazzy, Phyno and others are really doing well in the genre of music and has made Afrobeat known all over the world.

I feel so excited seeing the recognition most Nigeria artist are having all over the world through music. I love almost all Nigeria artists that's why I don't have favorite artists, I vibe to any song that I find so pleasing to me.

And what Nigeria artists do that makes me like them is the fact that they always infuse their language in their songs, they don't only sing in English they always mix their dialect in their songs, this indicates that they want people to know where they are coming from and that they didn't forget their roots.

The likes of Olamide and Falz rap pretty well with Yoruba language, Davido, Wizkid, Adekunle Gold, Simi also sings pretty well with Yoruba language. What of Phyno and Flavour, they both raps and sings very well with their dialect among others. And their kind of songs are songs played in big occasions both within and outside the country.

What of Chike the Boo of the Booless, I love the guy's music back and front. He is a guy that is so proud of his dialect as well, his song titled 'Roju' is a love song that I love so much and 'Running to you' where he featured Simi can be on repeat on my phone for a whole day.

When we talk of Kizz Daniel as well, the guy has been giving us back to back hit songs for our listen pleasure. He is also a proud Yoruba boy that has been using his dialect so well. What of Nigeria's 001 Davido (OBO), he has been exceptional with his music. He also sings so well with his dialect and also has excellent spirit in all he does.

So for me, I listen to numerous artists that their music is captivating to me that's why I don't have a favorite artist because when you check my phone music player you will see different genres of songs from different artists both old and new record. I just love them all and appreciate how they have been using music to make their culture known to the world.
