As a result, prisons became overcrowded with thousands of political opponents. From 1938—a year before the end of the armed conflict—to 1943, musical practices were considered a crucial component of the propaganda programmes implemented in prisons to control and re-educate the inmates. In response to this official sonic environment, prisoners also cultivated their own musical practices as a means of preserving their self-identities. The initial section of the article offers a brief overview of the living conditions experienced in Spanish prisons during Franco’s regime. In the subsequent part, I delve into the significance of the unofficial musical practices developed by detainees, examining their relationship to concepts such as space, place, heterotopia, and the ‘construction of the self’. Due to the state’s ability to exert epistemic violence by suppressing individuals and groups’ capacity to speak or be heard, these unofficial musical practices can be regarded as cultural artefacts that emerged as a means of resistance against the propaganda enforced by the Franco government.KEYWORDS: Francoismpolitical prisonersprisonssonic environmentheterotopiaidentity AcknowledgementsI would like to express my very great appreciation to Gemma Pérez Zalduondo as my main thesis supervisor, whose expertise and advice in the area has been very valuable to me.

The story of social agents in postcolonial African popular music is at the heart of this genre-making process. Drawing from interviews, archives, and participant observations, I explore the development of Fújì through the agency of Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, the acclaimed pioneer of the genre. Through his continuous search for ‘newness’, Ayinde Barrister launched Fújì as a prestige genre, a type of modernity from below, within the 1970s Lagos social and economic scenes. Ultimately, the interlocking story of Ayinde Barrister and Fújì provides insights into how genre-making in African popular music intertwines processes of self-making in postcolonial Africa.KEYWORDS: Sikiru Ayinde BarristerFújì musicYoruba popular musicpostcolonial African agencyAfrican popular musicgenre-makingself-making AcknowledgmentsThanks to the two anonymous reviewers and the editors for their comments and suggestions to the early draft of this article.

It is common to identify or address people this way in Lagos.2 The term ‘Barrister’ was adopted from the Law profession. The culture of self-naming and adoption of titles from military, academia and other canonic professions have a longstanding history in Nigerian popular music. Bandleaders started renaming and identifying with tiltes like ‘Captain’, ‘Bishop’, ‘Commander’, ‘Barrister’ and ‘Professor’ since the 1940s. Self-naming is one of the longstanding economic strategies and how bandleaders renegotiate and validate themselves.3 Before the late 1970s, Yoruba popular music albums/records were released in Volumes. Thus, a musician could release in a series of Vol. 1 to 10.Additional informationFundingThis article emerged from a broad research project funded by the Andrew Mellon-THInK (Transforming Humanities th","PeriodicalId":43942,"journal":{"name":"Ethnomusicology Forum","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135385505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
