This paper scrutinises the symbiotic relationship between music, a form of popular art, and Lagos, Nigeria’s urban entertainment hub. In extending the frontiers of empirical inquiry, the study also appraises the mode of give-and-take by which music and its agency vis-à-vis the Lagos metropolis negotiate the indigenous soundscape of the postcolonial metropolis. This paper unearths the cultural bonds and social interactive cohesion that served as the springboard on which Lagos was built as an African mega-metropolis and on which African music is repositioned as a global brand. Against the backdrop of the norm of reciprocity, this paper examines the kinship and mutual exchange of social consciousness between the metropolis and musical agencies. The paper asserts social, cultural, political, and economic contexts as sites for the vocalisation of space in sounds and the localisation of sounds in socio-space, with evidence of mutual exchange and interaction through musical performance and the production of geographical space.","PeriodicalId":42523,"journal":{"name":"Muziki-Journal of Music Research in Africa","volume":"15 1","pages":"44 - 60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18125980.2018.1527660","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45955045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It can be encountered in a variety of everyday contexts, one of which is sporting events. This article explores the authors’ ethnographic encounters with hegemonic masculinities amongst football fans in Zimbabwe, particularly in the songs they sing. Utilising Connell’s concept of hegemonic masculinity, the authors argue that Zimbabwean football fandom is entangled with hegemonic masculinities. The article demonstrates a simultaneously covert and subtle, but always complex, relationship between football fandom and masculinities, specifically hegemonic masculinity. The study’s major conclusion is that hegemonic masculinity is strongly discursive and occasionally occurs even in seemingly harmless mundane banter, such as stadium songs. Despite the sometimes jovial nature of these performances, there are power undercurrents involved.","PeriodicalId":42523,"journal":{"name":"Muziki-Journal of Music Research in Africa","volume":"15 1","pages":"68 - 88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18125980.2018.1503560","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47593456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although such learning-outcomes language appears current to some, tendencies to work together with profound results have taken past forms. One such example is the lesser-known exchange between Ghana's Dr Komla Amoaku and Germany's Carl Orff. In collaborating, the two unlikely matched pedagogues forged a unity from which grew Ghanaian-based programmes such as the Institute for Music and Development, Orff in Afrique, and the Nunya Music Academy. Furthermore, through Orff Schulwerk societies, conferences, and classrooms, the occidental and West-African blend is presented to select groups around the world. Just as current multicultural language speaks to contemporary education, the Amoaku Orff initiatives spoke to musical multiculturalism well before such language was educational lingua franca. As 2017 marks the five year memoriam of the late Dr Komla Amoaku within 60 years of Ghanaian independence, an account of the understated historic background defining Dr Komla Amoaku and resulting precepts guiding Orff in Afrique programming is fitting.","PeriodicalId":42523,"journal":{"name":"Muziki-Journal of Music Research in Africa","volume":"15 1","pages":"13 - 4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18125980.2018.1426705","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41841749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In many societies and their respective traditions, cultures and customs, music has been central in reflecting the historical, contemporary and future aspirations of such communities. In reference to South Africa, recent student movements have been central in calling into question the postcolonial status of the country amid its colonial legacies. These movements have relied on decolonial discourses (#RhodesMustFall, #FeesMustFall, #StatuesMustFall) and have deployed them as a means of critiquing the condition of “formerly” colonised subjects within South Africa's postcolonial status. This paper focuses on the role of music in understanding colonial legacies within a postcolony. It deploys decolonial theories as a means of understanding the lived condition of black people and particularly Africans in the “post” settler colonial context of South Africa. Using Letta Mbulu's hit song “Not Yet Uhuru,” the paper argues that her lyrical message is instrumental in understanding the “colonial situation” within the country. Therefore in this paper, the question of the continuities and discontinuities of coloniality is read through Mbulu's lyrical content. Ultimately, the central argument of the paper relies on the role of music as a form of political or decolonial communication and how such can be instrumental in understanding the legacies of the past within postcolonial South Africa.","PeriodicalId":42523,"journal":{"name":"Muziki-Journal of Music Research in Africa","volume":"15 1","pages":"131 - 146"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18125980.2017.1385411","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49207096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is argued that singer-teachers who teach at tertiary institutions experience MPA because of the nature of their work and working environment, and this is exacerbated by striving for perfection which is often associated with this group of performing pedagogues. The purpose of the current study is to understand the manifestation of MPA and perfectionism in the lived experiences of a group of singer-teachers. The author deployed transcendental phenomenology in order to understand this phenomenon. The research of Frost et al. (1990), Sandgren (2002) and Kenny (2011) serves as a structural framework for this article. Singer-teachers place severe pressure on themselves because of their profession. The self-induced pressure because of the pursuit of tenure and concerns over their voices and success are the main triggers of MPA. Perfectionism manifests as a result of personal standards that they apply in their teaching, as well as expectations and criticism from colleagues and concern about making mistakes in front of their students and colleagues. MPA is also exacerbated by self-doubt and singer-teachers’ desire for approval, reassurance, and acceptance from colleagues and students.","PeriodicalId":42523,"journal":{"name":"Muziki-Journal of Music Research in Africa","volume":"15 1","pages":"14 - 36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18125980.2018.1467367","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45233894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evidence abounds in the literature and the public domain that the orientation of these musicians made them nationalists, and their music an important medium for socio-political and economic development. However, with the upsurge in celebrity politicians, nowadays many orientations are employed by popular musicians to sell politicians. In Nigeria, where empirical studies and global development statistics show that corruption and bad leadership seriously undermine socio-economic development, the roles of popular musicians as crusaders for good governance are under serious scrutiny. This article examines whether the legacy formerly promoted by renowned musicians is still promoted by popular musicians of this era. Analyses of two songs, composed by two popular Fuji musicians, Abass Akande and Wasiu Ayinde, for Otunba Alao Akala and Senator Abiola Ajimobi in Oyo State respectively, show that instead of serving as watchdogs or social crusaders holding politicians accountable to the electorate, popular musicians praise politicians. This detour in orientation undermines the ideals of renowned musicians of the pre-independence and independence era, with serious implications for the nation’s social and political development.","PeriodicalId":42523,"journal":{"name":"Muziki-Journal of Music Research in Africa","volume":"15 1","pages":"108 - 89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18125980.2018.1492883","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44248029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
