Description
Certain deities in some traditional Nigerian communities have peculiar musical traditions for invoking, propitiating and venerating them. In some cases, each deity has a set of musical instruments that is associated with it, and a unique way of making music for it.Music making procedures for the deities during formal acts of worship, at the annual festival and even on social occasions, are fixed. Music so ritualistically made serves as link that enables the sacred and the profane domains of life to communicate, commingle and coalesce but maintain their uniqueness and functions.
