AFRO-BEAT: FROM LAGOS TO THE WORLD

Abstract

Sonic conquest as a recurrent experience of man the world over, permeate dividing walls of religious, race, language and intercontinental partition. Music is sound. Dominating and irresistible sound whose subjects we are. However, soothing influence on some sonic creativity leaves little to be desired, occasioned by the fact that supposed pleasant sounds is devoid of pathos to news sickling to consumers of its contents. Music as a universal language loses its fragrance of relevance and sonic dominance without the subduing aesthetics of ethos and pathos. Every musical creative work and the human talent behind it represent the grand objective of this paper.
