Abstract:
This study examined Haruna Ishola's personality as a musician with reference to his song, 'Ma fikan Won Wa Ninu Meta' aiming at its philosophical lyrics and musical analysis. It was observed that, some popular musical forms that were striving from the mid 20th century to the end of the century have not enjoyed its deserved attention from music scholars. Apala, Sakara, Awurebe, Sewele and Dadakuada are examples of such musical forms. The negligence contributed to loss of originality in the continuity of the musical practice. More so, the practitioners of Apala include adapted characters of the contemporary popular music to modify Apala music for public acceptance and patronage. Meanwhile, the materialistic interest in the society has dwindled social cultural compliance in the circuit of popular musicians in recent years. Therefore, the contemporary society needed to take useful tradition from the past to combat deviant behaviour. Moreover, there is need to document the song through scoring for archival purpose and further studies. This paper recommended that personalities in conformity with the societal norm should be encouraged in popular music practices. The study took a qualitative approach by relying on discography, bibliography, with interview method for data collection and, the adopted theory for the study is the 'Theory of Unfoldment.
