dc.description.abstractThis study examines the performance asthetics in Bisade Ologunde's music ensemble with his use of African musical instruments. Bisade Ologunde, the pioneer of the Africano style of music which is a resurgence of sophisticated African music, is popularly known as Lagbaja, a symbol of the faceless and the voiceless in African society. This study is hinged on the descriptive method of research using his selected works, namely; "Lulu fun won","Omojayejaye" and "Sweet melody" to draw our analyses and Findings. This study discovers that African music performaces are not just about drumming as against opinion that African music is all drumming, though, Africans are well known for drumming. Lagbaja uses his music as a creative tool to advocate for the faceless masses, to correct and chastise some failings and frailties in the society. Looking at the example of Lagbaja, this paper concludes that creative exploration in the arts is infinite and should not be limited, restricted or stereotyped.
