  • Native Yoruba Music
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Lagos Journals Ihafa: A Journal of African Studies 8: 1 June 2016, 199-217 Vision of Ancestorhood and Apotheosis in Alter- native Yoruba Music dun Bello University of Lagos Abstract The Yoruba world is the totality of the tripartite connection of the worlds of the dead, the living, and the unborn. These three spheres and phases also correspond to the past, the present and the future, respectively. The living are always in awe of the dead and revere them, while the dead are believed to possess the ability to (re)visit the world of the living through reincarnation. The present study is based on the claim that, while aspects of the indigenous Yoruba belief system such as ancestorhood and apotheosis are getting lost on the millennial generation of Yoruba persons, the alter-native Yoruba music genre provides a viable evidence of how elements of Yoruba folk culture are being preserved by culturally and ideologically conscious members of the same generation. Using the Cultural Theory framework, the study demonstrates the possibility of mainstreaming Yoruba cultural studies into the larger corpus of canonical theories in global cultural studies. Keywords: ancestorhood; apotheosis; alter-native music; Yoruba; ideology; millennial; stylistic; culture _________________ Department of Linguistics, African and Asian Studies University of Lagos, Akoka Lagos, Nigeria Phone: +234 703 137 7993; Email:[email protected] 200 Vision of Ancestorhood and Apotheosis 1. Introduction Alter-native Yoruba music, as conceptualised in this study, refers to Yoruba songs that reflect the nature of external cultural influences that have been brought upon the artistes that produce them, thereby indicating the nature and extent of alteration or alterity identifiable in the Yoruba personality both physically and cognitively.

    North Staffordshire National Trust Association Newsletter No. 118 Winter-Spring 2021 Anniversary Edition www.northstaffsnt.org.uk 1 North Staffordshire National Trust Association Newsletter No. 118 Winter-Spring 2021 A Note from the Chair Dear Members, On behalf of the committee and myself I would like to wish everyone a very joyful Christmas and a happy New Year. We are optimistic that a normal local National Trust service will be resuming this year and that all the trips and speakers we have prepared will go ahead. I think that when a rich variety of activities suddenly ceases we do appreciate how much they are valued and that the cultural and spiritual aspects of one’s life are of immense importance, not to mention the friendship and companionship which naturally go hand in hand. As this is the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the local National Trust we have included in the newsletter reminiscences and reminders of what has been a very successful organisation and has given many members much enjoyment. Looking forward to seeing you in the New Year. Best wishes, David This Newsletter is published by North Staffordshire National Trust Association to provide members with information on the forthcoming programme, reports on recent events, and other membership issues.

Abstract Historically, Nigeria and France cannot be said to have enjoyed a robust and cordial relations. Two incidences support this assertion, the first was the diplomatic face-off between both countries when France tested an atomic bomb in Africa against Nigeria’s protest while the second manifested in France’s support for Biafra during the Nigeria-Biafra crisis in 1966 and beyond. It is also on record that France had once worked tirelessly towards the dismemberment of Nigeria as a result of the competition for influence between both countries over the Francophone West African States. This paper examines the twists and turns of the relations between both countries in the wake of the recent visit by Emmanuel Macron, France’s President to Nigeria. Qualitatively driven and relying on the secondary sources of data, the paper observed that Macron’s visit has added some value to the relations between both countries given the peculiar nature of that visit. It equally averred that Macron’s visit to the legendary Fela Anikulapo’s Afro Beat New Afrika shrine in Ikeja, Lagos is not only a reinvention of their bilateral relations but has greatly changed the relations between the two countries, with France now exploiting other areas of developmental cooperation in Nigeria.

  • Cyrano, Northern Broadsides, West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds Chris Wallis March 1, 2017
    Review: Cyrano, Northern Broadsides, West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds Chris Wallis March 1, 2017 Cyrano de Bergerac had a very big nose. So big in fact that Edmund Rostand immortalised it in his 1897 comic masterpiece, written almost 250 years after his eponymous hero’s death. Apart from the nose, and Cyrano’s position as a member of the Cadets (a regiment of noblemen fighting for the King of France), everything else in the story is fiction. Incredibly successful fiction. The play has been translated and seen all over the world, and a number of movies have been based on the story, including Roxanne starring Steve Martin. Northern Broadsides’ new version by Deborah McAndrew is a worthy addition to the canon. Adapted in verse like the original, McAndrew has great fun with rhymes and rhyme schemes, and stays faithful to the structure of the story. It’s a classic Broadsides ensemble show, performed by an accomplished group of actors and musicians, with music composed by theatrical polymath Conrad Nelson, who also directs. The story turns on the idea that Cyrano – an extremely talented man in every respect – considers himself so ugly because of his nose that no woman could ever love him, especially not his cousin Roxanne with whom he is deeply in love. So when Roxanne falls in love at first sight with the beautiful but uneducated yokel Christian, a new recruit to the Cadets, Cyrano volunteers to write his love letters for him. As the billet-doux pour in, Roxanne becomes ever more besotted and matters are further complicated by Cyrano’s commanding officer, the Count de Guiche, who, although married and many years her senior, is pursuing Roxanne with relentless persistence.
