4th Biennial National Conference of Music and the Performing Arts(NACOMPA) 2017

May 30 - 31, 2017

THEME: MUSICAL PLURALITY AND THE NIGERIAN POLITY
At the dawn of the 21st century, the argument for the primacy of the so-called serious music has come under a heavy attack. As opinions on meaning and value of music diverge sharply, a compromise is reached; that instead of a unitary global typology, there is a plurality of discrete music types that constantly engage stakeholders in musical creativity, performances, research, education, technology, polemics, and even governance. Within the known categories of folk, popular, art, and World Music exist a striking multiplicity of music genres and sub-genres that define the extent and ‘borders’ of today’s musical plurality. Expressions and studies in musical diversity are pursued within the real and virtual spaces provided and regulated by sovereign states and their agents. This conference is aimed at grilling the features and dynamics of musical plurality and how they affect the educational, professional, socio-cultural, and economic lives within the Nigerian political boundaries.
