dc.description.abstractA lo has been written on Yoruba Music generally. However, there are still many more areas to be researched extensively into, especially on specific Yoruba musical genres. Dadakuada is one of such musical genres on which existing literature is relatively scanty in spite of the t that it has been in existence for a long time as a traditional music for entertainment among the people of Ilorin in Kwara State of Nigeria. This paper therefore discourses the historical development of Dadakuada Music focusing on the origin and the stages of Dadakuada development. The qualitative method was engaged, using interviews with Dadakuada musicians and other individuals in lorin community. It is discovered that Dadakuada music has gone through three stages of development namely the early; middle and present stages with different musicians dominating the different stages. Dadakuada music continues to be the foremost traditional nonreligious musical genre among the people of Ilorin and has retained its originality despite different innovations at the various stages of its development.en_US
