Yor©£b©ŠMusic in the Twentieth Century explores the role of the performer and the performing group in creating these traditions, contributing to the ongoing reorientation of scholarship on African music toward individual creativity within a larger social network. Drawing on extensive field research conducted over the course of two decades, Bode Omojola examines traditional Yor©£b©Šgenres such as bata and dundun drumming as well as more contemporary genres such as Yor©£b©Špopular music. The book also addresses a spectrum of social issues, ranging from gender inequality to the impact of Christianity and Islam on Yor©£b©Šmusical practice. Throughout, Omojola emphasizes the interrelatedness of the different components of the Yor©£b©Šmusical landscape, as well as the role of specific individuals and groups of musicians, who have continued to draw from indigenous Yor©£b©Šmusical resources to create new musical forms in the process of engaging the social dynamics of a rapidly changing environment. -- Back cover. 650 0 $a Yoruba (African people) $v Music $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Music $z Africa, West $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 830 0 $a Eastman/Rochester studies in ethnomusicology ; $v v. 2. 941 $a 1 945 $a cda 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20160331011945.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0EEBFDF0F70611E582760BA0DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
