Opis

Beautiful Nubia is a versatile popular music practitioner who has distinguished himself as a unique musician in the Nigeria music industry. He performs a multi genre type of music which makes it difficult to pin him down to a particular genre of music. He however Christen his rare genre of music 'Folk and Root' for music cataloguing sake. There has been lots of study on this eclectic musician from different perspectives, but, the musicological aspect of his works have not been sufficiently addressed. This study therefore, examined the structural and stylistic forms of Beautiful Nubia's music, textual analysis, performance style, and classification of his songs to themes.
