Abstract

This study traces the spread of the Igbe religion of the Urhobo people of Delta State in Nigeria to other ethnic cultures in the Benin Province in Nigeria where Igbe became known as the Osenughegbe and Iyayi religions. In doing this, it examines the religious, social, and musical transitions in this cross-cultural migration. This study adopts descriptive and historical approaches by deploying qualitative research methods; it elicited much of its data from interviews and non-participant observation. Ten temples were studied; five temples each were selected from the Delta and Edo states. The data drawn is descriptively presented and interpreted. The study found that Iyayi borrowed a lot from Igbe in terms of ritual practices, dressing, vocabulary, music, and dance. These greatly facilitated Igbe’s cross-cultural migration to other ethnic cultures. It concludes that Igbe music has a social value which has greatly accounted for Igbe’s influences in its cross-cultural migration with Iyayi as one of the recipients.

尼日利亚Urhobo和Esan的Igbe和Iyayi宗教运动中的社会音乐文化适应

这项研究追溯了尼日利亚三角洲州Urhobo人的Igbe宗教在尼日利亚贝宁省的其他民族文化中的传播，在那里Igbe被称为Osenughegbe和Iyayi宗教。在这样做的过程中，它考察了这种跨文化迁移中的宗教、社会和音乐转变。本研究采用描述性和历史性研究方法，运用定性研究方法；它的大部分数据来自访谈和非参与者的观察。研究了十座寺庙；从三角洲州和江户州各选出五座寺庙。所绘制的数据以描述性的方式呈现和解释。研究发现，Iyayi在仪式、着装、词汇、音乐和舞蹈方面向Igbe借鉴了很多。这些极大地促进了伊格贝向其他民族文化的跨文化迁移。伊贝音乐具有社会价值，这在很大程度上解释了伊贝在跨文化迁移中的影响，Iyayi是其中一个接受者。

期刊介绍： Critical Research on Religion is a peer-reviewed, international journal focusing on the development of a critical theoretical framework and its application to research on religion. It provides a common venue for those engaging in critical analysis in theology and religious studies, as well as for those who critically study religion in the other social sciences and humanities such as philosophy, sociology, anthropology, psychology, history, and literature. A critical approach examines religious phenomena according to both their positive and negative impacts. It draws on methods including but not restricted to the critical theory of the Frankfurt School, Marxism, post-structuralism, feminism, psychoanalysis, ideological criticism, post-colonialism, ecocriticism, and queer studies. The journal seeks to enhance an understanding of how religious institutions and religious thought may simultaneously serve as a source of domination and progressive social change. It attempts to understand the role of religion within social and political conflicts. These conflicts are often based on differences of race, class, ethnicity, region, gender, and sexual orientation – all of which are shaped by social, political, and economic inequity. The journal encourages submissions of theoretically guided articles on current issues as well as those with historical interest using a wide range of methodologies including qualitative, quantitative, and archival. It publishes articles, review essays, book reviews, thematic issues, symposia, and interviews.
