Abstract

Music like any other media provides a kind of discourse through which social aspects like gender identity of a particular related society can be co-constructed or deconstructed depending on the ideological perspective of the speaker/writer. This paper analyses Bongo Flava-song video ‘Niambie’ using multimodal critical discourse perspective so as to examine if the song involves co-construction or deconstruction of gender identity. Results show that gender identity in the song video is co-constructed in the sense that male gender is dominant over female gender alluding from patriarchal ideology through which men are supposed to dominate women in all life aspects.
