NIGERIAN MUSIC-by Felipe García-Echaniz

NIGERIAN MUSIC


Nigeria
's music is varied and it's divided according to the social and religious groups, each with their own instruments and songs. We know little about the history of this music but no instruments of past centuries which tell us that there has been some music in Nigeria since centuries.
Nigeria is considered the center of African music and the country that has revolutionized music in Africa. Much of current Nigerian music came from hip-hop and the music has been accepted in Africa and in the West.
Africa has many music festivals and usually Nigeria 
wins. These festivals award the best of every musical genre and one of the most important festivals in Africa is called the Kora Awards


About teaching it, like, for example, in Ghana, it's not a priority. At university, education is given much importance but still, European countries have great advantage towards Africa in this field.
Finally, saying that Nigerian music is very curious and we have much to learn about it, this music has great artists but not often recognized as good musicians. It is important to help these countries, we have much to learn from them.
