dc.description.abstractThis paper examines Dadakuada music of the Ilorin people found in Kwara State of Nigeria.Music does not exist in vacuum but rather it influences and is influenced by a variety of factors within its socio-political and geographic context among which religion is a strong factor. The association of the music culture to religious activities and festivals within a society makes the influence of religion on music almost inevitable. Relying on observation and participation; oral interview and discographic methods, it is observed that the religion of the people of Ilorin being Islam has had both positive and negative influences on Dadakuada music over the years. It has affected the behavior patterns of the musicians and has heavily influenced the content of their music and the musician’s use of language. The structure, culture and belief of the immediate society have constituted a force that the musicians and their music have had to contend with. The contentions and tensions between the society, locally held religious belief and the survival and nourishment of Dadakuada is what this article seeks to discuss. It concludes that Dadakuada music, musicians and the society within which it exists are ambivalent oscillating between patronages in the terrain of the entertainment and Ilorin culture that the music provides and opposition on the grounds of religious beliefs.en_US
