just read Abati’s article now….all i could make out is resentment and fear of being irrelevant! As a schooled musician nd concert pianist of wetsern classical music the trend in our own music world is creating nigerian art music that wud stand the the mozarts and beethoveen anytime and anywhere…..wont say alot here cos im totally taken aback by Abati’s perfidious hubristic rant concerning the rising Nigerian sensation..he seems to forget the total decadence caused by the generation X which he belongs to! what is edifying in that song “Baby jowo ko ma i lo o ko wa funmi l’oyan tutu mu o!” or Omoge leke leke it falls in the same category as beatles claim of being more popular than Jesus! Jejune is all he wrote. Maybe the resource material for his research only exists in his childhood nostalgia of being a brainwahsed 2nd class citizen to the brits with no knowledge of Globalisation….someone shud tell him the difference between Westernisation and mordenisation!
