Abstract
ABSTRACT
This study examined social obligation and musical tradition of Ighele festival in Esan. It specifically explored the significance of dance in Ighele festival in Esan; examined the social obligation of Ighele festival in Eshan; and discussed the musical tradition of Ighele festival in Esan. This study was anchored on Social Exchange Theory propounded by Albert Bandura.
This study was tailored towards the documentation of social obligation and musical tradition of dance in Ighele festival. The methodological approach was descriptive research design. The researcher used secondary data methods to address the issues in focus and an analytical approach to dance research. The secondary data collection approach included library work: journals, books, pamphlets, internet, theses and photographs of dances in the induction events.
It was discovered that Ighele ceremonies or festivals are recognised as an essential part of the Ighele people’s culture. Apart from the entertainment value, and the fact that they provide an avenue for reminiscing about their forebears, Ighele festival also reveal some deep-rooted and salient elements with deep unavoidable theatrical implications. Furthermore, an analytical appraisal of these Igehele festivals show that apart from serving as an occasion for religious worship, the celebrants use the different Ighele rituals, music, dance and mime to solve practical problems through a rapport with the forces that control them. A careful observation of these Ighele ceremonies reveals a glaring similarity between them and other musical forms. They have the following elements: musical performance (events), performers (participants), and an audience.
It was concluded that music and dance were social function of any festival. In realising this, there is need for an improved musical form based on the Nigerian local way of life, firstly, one would boldly suggest that there should be a radical departure from the known to the unknown.
