MUSIC
Music.....
We all say that we love music, some claim to be making music, and some say am listening to music, but how many of us can really cross the line and say, that is GOOD MUSIC?
Good music is not hard to find because any form of music that shows you that it is not ordinary is GOOD MUSIC.
I was privileged to be at the Ayo Bankole centre for the monthly Jazz & old skool nite and must say that the Nigeria music industry is missing a lot. If the Nigeria music industry can take a cue from the level of musicianship that was displayed here, then music in Nigeria will grow for the better.
I learned playing the piano and must tell you that playing an instrument requires a lot of discipline, and a lot of the youth in music today lack that quality. To be better, you need to put in a lot of practice also.
With what I saw and heard at the Ayo Bankole centre, I must say that it is GOOD MUSIC; it was not the everyday kind of music that I hear on the airwaves. Mr. Banks, I see you.......

Music in Nigeria, underpaid or what.
Music in nigeria,
underpaid or what.
Have you ever thought of the effect of the population of the country on the sales of music ? Have you ever projected the income from the sales of albums that will come to the artist ? If we look closely, Nigeria is a country blessed with over a hundred million people, some even say a hundred and fifty and some say still counting. The percentage of the youth is also high. Right now the word on the street is PROUDLY NIJA, that is we love our own, we support our own, but do we go all the way out to buy what our own are putting out. It will shock you that some foriegn artist are still selling here more than our own, it will surprise you that some are even more popular here than our own. So kini big deal with all the hype about the one million record sale. From research, Alaba sells a cd for as low, sorry as high as N50 and the guy on the street sells for as low, sorry again as high as N150. I was even told that from the N50 the artist gets N15. In US you can get a cd for $12 (N1,800) not even considering digital download. My question, is that our artist do not have the right material to sell or is it that we just don't want to put our money where our mouth is ? another question, in a country of over a hundren million why can't the BIGGEST artist sell as much as ten million copies ?

music critic: Nigerian music: Is it true?
Is it true that Nigerian music is growing?
I think we should just draw the line on what Nigerian music really is.
Musically for any type of music to be attached to any country it must be sung in the language of that country. So in this context Nigerian music will have to be those sung in the different languages of Nigeria.
What we can really see making waves is music made in Nigeria. What is music made in Nigeria? Well any type of music will pass.
Fuji, juju, hilife, afrobeat and all other music in Nigerian languages cannot be seen as growing right now.
No young guy or girl is coming out now calming to be into Fuji or even doing juju.
So do you still think that Nigerian music is growing?
Unless you develop that which u where born with u will always be a phase behind if you try to develop what others were born with.
Seriously, is it true that Nigeria music is growing?
Is it true that we can gladly export the music that we make here?
When will we be able to see Nigerian musicians invited for shows in America or music festivals like we have star mega jam in Nigeria?
Why is it so hard for our artist to get on the billboard?
I can't see fuji music being improved upon, even hilife music is not taken to another level, we are even deaf to the importance of Afrobeat.
Hip-hop is not Nigerian music; R&B too is not. Most notable & world musician has been able to fuss a lot of elements to improve their music.
So let’s stop fooling ourselves because our video is on mtv that those not mean that Nigerian music is growing.
We cannot build a skyscraper from the top; we need to work on the foundation. We need to work on the rudiments and build up a generation of musician that will be able to match up anywhere.
The foundation of forces driving music in Nigeria does not have the right mechanism to support its growth.
Let’s take a look, how many our big shot can boost of a vocal coach, how many have bands, how many can point to a music director, a dance instructor or business manager.
Rome was not built in a day but Rome can be destroyed in a day, mediocrity has been with us for a while and I think we can stop it.
