| Resumo: | African traditional genres today are in a crisis of survival. Like traditional African religions, they are being confronted by the proselytizing religions of Islam and Christianity, and are gradually being metamorphosed according to new models. One such genre is 'Dadakuada', a traditional form of oral art in Ilorin (Nigeria), which originated from 'Egungun', the Yoruba masquerade cult. Today, however, 'Dadakuada' hardly possesses any trace of its origin. The 'Dadakuada' poets now deny their roots, in an effort to conform to orthodox Islamic values which are dominant in Ilorin. This paper examines the position of 'Dadakuada' in the context of the modern Islamic city of Ilorin. (Documentatieblad/ASC Leiden) |
