BETWEEN MORALITY, MARKET, AND MEANING: A PHILOSOPHICAL INQUIRY INTO THE ETHICAL, CULTURAL, AND UTILITARIAN DIMENSIONS OF CONTEMPORARY NIGERIAN MUSIC

Description

This paper conducts a thorough investigation of the interplay between morality, market dynamics, and meaning in the realm of contemporary Nigerian music. Leveraging insights from the scholarship of Nigerian music theorists, the research highlights that music transcends mere aesthetic appreciation, serving pivotal moral, social, and practical roles within society. Furthermore, the study probes the escalating conflict between deeply-rooted cultural traditions and the contemporary market forces that have commodified music production and consumption.
