ABSTRACT

This study examined the contents of the songs of Orlando Owoh and Dan Maraya Jos – with a view to contrasting them. It also analysed the motifs of the songs. In addition, it explored their socio – cultural environments which gave their compositions, the fame and acceptance they enjoyed. Out of the themes inherent , ethical values were picked out for special treatment because we believe that lack of ethics is one of the problems facing the Yorùbá and Hausa societies. The methodology involved the collection, transcription and translation of these songs. Ten randomly selected fans from four Yoruba speaking states were interviewed on Orlando’s song, while the same mode of selection was used to select people for interview on Dan Maraya’s song. The data collected were analysed within the sociological theory of literature.

It was found out that fundamental changes had taken place in the music industry in the two societies. Prior to the advent of technology, which ensured recording of music, in the traditional period, listener would always listen to music first, before appreciating the music. Nowadays, the reverse is the case. You pay for a cassette before ever having the opportunity of listening to them.

The study concluded that with the new trend in the music of the two artistes – composers, musicians are now assuming better roles as social critics. This trend conforms with their traditional roles which have been eroded and adulterated in the neo-colonial period. Name of Supervisor: Dr. J.B. Agbájé No. of Pages: 267
