  • 1 Chapter Three Historical
    University of Pretoria etd, Adeogun A O (2006) CHAPTER THREE HISTORICAL-CULTURAL BACKCLOTH OF MUSIC EDUCATION IN NIGERIA This chapter traces the developments of music education in the precolonial Nigeria. It is aimed at giving a social, cultural and historical background of the country – Nigeria in the context of music education. It describes the indigenous African music education system that has been in existence for centuries before the arrival of Islam and Christianity - two important religions, which have influenced Nigerian music education in no small measure. Although the title of this thesis indicates 1842-2001, it is deemed expedient, for the purposes of historical background, especially in the northern part of Nigeria, to dwell contextually on the earlier history of Islamic conquest of the Hausaland, which introduced the dominant musical traditions and education that are often mistaken to be indigenous Hausa/northern Nigeria. The Islamic music education system is dealt with in Chapter four. 3.0 Background - Nigeria Nigeria, the primarily focus of this study, is a modern nation situated on the Western Coast of Africa, on the shores of the Gulf of Guinea which includes the Bights of Benin and Biafra (Bonny) along the Atlantic Coast. Entirely within the tropics, it lies between the latitude of 40, and 140 North and longitude 20 501 and 140 200 East of the Equator. It is bordered on the west, north (northwest and northeast) and east by the francophone countries of Benin, Niger and Chad and Cameroun respectively, and is washed by the Atlantic Ocean, in the south for about 313 kilometres.

    16 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LIBRARY OF AFRICAN MUSIC NOTES ON MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS AMONG THE FULANI OF DIAMARE (NORTH CAMEROON) by VEIT ERLMANN I. Introduction The Central Sudan, enclosing the northern parts of the Cameroons and Nigeria, South-Niger and parte of Chad, has been viewed by different scholars under various aspects as one coherent area sharing certain cultural traits. Some of these are due to the impact of Islam during the past 500 years: town-culture, feudal social hierarchy, class distinctions, and literacy. The impact of Islam is strongest among the Hausa, Fulani1, Kanembu, Kanuri, Manga, Kotoko, and Shoa Arabs. For more than five centuries there has been a constant flow of economic, social and cultural exchange between these groups which also left its traces in the musical culture. Ethnomusicology does not seem to have focused very much on this area2, the Hausa being in fact the only ethnic group whose musical culture can be said to have been thoroughly explored3. Kanuri, Manga, and Shoa music are almost unknown, while the musical cultures of the Kanembu and Kotoko received at least some attention in few articles and casual record notes4. As for the Fulani of Cameroon some records exist 5, but no written information on their music is available. Hence, this paper attempts to give a general account of the musical organology of the Fulani in North Cameroon and to contribute to the completion of ethnomusicological knowledge in this area6 through the presentation of new material and the basic facts of Fulani organology (names of instruments and their parts, social usage, history).

Many jazz musicians have utilized West African music in their musical compositions. Blakey, Lateef and Weston were not the first musicians to do so, however they were chosen for this dissertation because their experiences, influences, and music clearly illustrate the importance that West African culture has played in the lives of African American jazz musicians. Born during the Harlem Renaissance each of these musicians was influenced by the political views and concepts that predominated African American culture at that time.

    48 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LIBRARY OF AFRICAN MUSIC LONG TRUMPETS OF NORTHERN NIGERIA — IN HISTORY AND TODAY by K. A. GOURLAY “long wooden trumpet ... the lower end (of which) bulges out as the ramrod of a great gun” (Oudney, in Denham and Clapperton 1826:301) “a thin conical tube, made of two or three sections .., a rather large hell, and bulging rings that mark the beginning of each section” (Sachs 1940:210). A visitor arriving at Kano International Airport in northern Nigeria on the same flight as a local V.I.P.2 may find himself greeted by a blast on an instrument which, at first sight, suggests an elongated European hunting horn or that used by post­ illions of eighteenth century stage-coaches. It may remind him of the long, straight trumpet in Giotto’s Crowning o f the Virgin (ca. 1317) or of the instruments on the medallion from Guerrero Lovillo’s Cantigas de Santa Maria on the sleeve of H.M.V.’s “Early Medieval Music”. Of the quotations at the head of this article the second would seem an appropriate description, but in fact refers to a Chinese trumpet of the later middle ages. It is the first which records the earliest sighting of a Nigerian long trumpet by a British explorer, the ill-fated Oudney, in a letter home on 28th March 1823. The starting point for any enquiry is to discover the link between pres­ ent day Nigerian and medieval Chinese or European trumpets and to investigate what happened to those made of wood.

  • Linguistic Diffusion in the Development of Hausa Language
    Journal of Translation and Language Studies J Trans & Lang Stud jtls.sabapub.com (2021)2(1) : 82 - 93 ISSN:2709-5681 doi:https://doi.org/10.48185/jtls.v2i1.196 Linguistic Diffusion in the Development of Hausa Language 1,* Hamzat Na'uzo Abdulkadir Department of English, University of Abuja, Abuja, , Nigeria Received: 01.02.2020 • Accepted: 20.03.2021 • Published: 31.03.2021 • Final Version: 31.03.2021 Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to prove that intercultural relationship and sufficient contact between Hausa and other languages result in linguistic diffusion or borrowing. The study adopts both the historical and descriptive survey research design, predicated on the need for a brief history of Hausa and the donor languages, and descriptive design to facilitate the use of secondary data generated from textbooks, theses, dissertations, seminar and conference papers. The study traces the location of Hausa people in order to vividly comprehend the nature of contact with the donor languages which effectively bears on the objective nature of the borrowed words. It is in this light that three types of language relationship emerged: genetic, typological and cultural. The intercultural relationship can be unidirectional (English and Hausa) or bi-directional (Hausa and Yoruba). The work provides concrete examples from Tuareg, Fulfulde, Kanuri, Yoruba, Nupe, Arabic and English languages to demonstrate the long contact with the Hausa language. The study finally observes suppressive interference on the structures of Hausa especially from Arabic and English, which have attained second language status in Hausa society, which, again, does not make the language lose its originality.
