Different genres Of Nigerian Music by chiogo(f): 7:52pm On Sep 11, 2008 |
Hi y'all. At school today, we were asked to list as many as possible, the types of music from our culture. That was when I realized that I didn't really know Nigerian music genres. Well, I mentioned a couple I've heard of such as fuji and juju although I don't really know what they sound like. I could ask my parents but they'D probably give me only music from the igbo culture. I don't need it for school anymore but for knowledge of the Nigerian music and culture. Hopefully, other people would learn from here. |

@Baro, thanks. I never heard of the "Ekasa" one but I got the rest. Well, from the number of replies compared to the # of views, I can deduce that Nigeria never really had much music except the imported ones. So, I guess it wasn't really my fault for not knowing. |

You didn't see her making trouble on the other thread? |
Re: Different genres Of Nigerian Music by doyin13(m): 3:48am On Sep 13, 2008 |
Yes oo. . .@topic You should give AXE a try. It is brazilian but with a strong element of Yoruba. The names of prominent exponents will indicate this. Olodum (from Olodumare), Ilu Aiye, etc. . . . |
Re: Different genres Of Nigerian Music by dreeldee: 3:50am On Sep 13, 2008 |
*Morenike: naw i hope that ikechukwu doesn't come here, we're bordered by houston @post Juju |

[Quote]Yea, when it comes to naija music. No offense but they sux[/quote] @*Morenike, dayum! How could you say that? This is the mentality we have which makes us to not know music from our culture. I know haitian-Americans who know and appreciate their music and I personally don't think their music is better than Nigeria's. The only Nigerian music that are appreciated are usually the imported ones such as hip hop which a 5-yr old can tell you did not originate from Nigeria or Africa as a whole. If I write hip hop and r & b, what will the AAs now write? Or if I write reggae, what would the Jamaicans do? Man. . . I tire for naija people and their copy-copy. That's why I want the real nigerian music genres. @yeah, to those of you who are here to have side-conversations, please, this isn't the place. So, y'all can kindly go to the "romance" section. |

dreeldee: So you live in Tijuana |
Re: Different genres Of Nigerian Music by Morenike3(f): 3:55am On Sep 13, 2008 |
dreeldee:I hope it doesn't come there, well takia. Bed a' calling chiogo:It does not have to do with mentality or what not. It has to do with preference. I prefer rock music to all their rap/hip pop etc. The only Nigerian GENRE I can bare listening to is the gospel. Yoruba gospel. Apart from that, you would not catch me dead listening to 9ice, or w/e. Ok, 2face used to be my doug, but now. . . . . nah |
Re: Different genres Of Nigerian Music by dreeldee: 3:56am On Sep 13, 2008 |
chiogo: madame no vex, i like nigerian music too and i think the music industry is getting better even though they do a lot of "sampling" doyin13:lmao! naw that's far away |
Re: Different genres Of Nigerian Music by chiogo(f): 4:03am On Sep 13, 2008 |
Rock music coo @*morenike, well I do agree with you on the Tuface thingy. I used to like him but uhh,. . .homeboy got wack overnight. Anyway, I'm playing his song "African queen' next week in music class,. . .still a nice song and kind of has the african flavor, . .whatever that means. @dreeldee, no problem. |
Re: Different genres Of Nigerian Music by Morenike3(f): 4:04am On Sep 13, 2008 |
Lol, you'll be singing his song? Hehehe, I wish I could be there. Rock on sistah |
Re: Different genres Of Nigerian Music by chiogo(f): 4:10am On Sep 13, 2008 |
Lolololol, singing his song?? Hell naw. I said playing it, unless they got a male version of 'african queen'. . .I can't sing that either- too shy. Anywayz, we were asked to play it. I've had it on my ipod for a while now so I'D just play it. |

Afro hip hop thats the lamest excuse most Nigerian artistes use to create whack music they say they are singing Afro hip-hop so i bet a Chinese would say he is doing Chinese hip hop or and so on |
