MUSIC, SONIC PRATICES IN EVERYDAY LIVES AT BODIJA MARKET IBADAN
Abstract
Music has gradually shifted from conventional settings such as music halls, schools, and churches to local marketplaces incorporating into daily life. Music was firmly embedded in cultural, religious, and educational contexts, functioning as a form of spiritual expression and collective experience while becoming more interwoven into daily activities rather than being saved for special occasions (elite’s) (Hudson, 1995). Making music work? This move mirrors a wider trend of prioritizing experiences over formal activities. This shift reflects broader cultural and social changes in how music is consumed and experienced in local market squares. Music's entry into the modern marketplace reflects a return to patterns of public consumption and communal experience reminiscent of early human societies, when music was a deeply social and shared activity in local community spaces. Turino (2008) states that “music as social life: the politics of participation” Market spaces encourage active participation, spontaneous, and emphasized accessibility and collective enjoyment over individual consumption, people can dance, sing along, or engage in conversations while enjoying their staying in the markets, creating a more dynamic atmosphere (Caves, 2003). "Creative Industries" discusses economic ideas of cultural production, which provide light on how music became linked to market logic
