Abstract

Abstract Biripo music, even when restricted to a group of people in the Ikale/Ilaje/Apoi milieux, is an embodiment of the consciousness of the folk and combines the art of the people with entertainment as a major cultural thrust, religious indoctrination and ethical values in the environment. This article attempts an analysis of the musical performance of Zeblon Omoranmowo entitled: word hangs loose and bursts 'Oro Ma Se Dugbe Dugbe O Be O' (2018) through an examination of the subject matter, themes and analogies that could constitute a veritable source of conflict to the larger society and internal disquietude to individuals whose indiscretion could ignite inter-personal conflicts through aesthetics as a philosophical model of analysis; claiming that religious books and selfish personal pursuits are potential sources of danger to the larger society.
