| Abstract | The omnipresence of music in the human society and its utilitarian stance in the human life make the study of its philosophical tilt a necessity. Although the functionality of music can be ascertained from a myriad of perspectives, it is in the textual content and performance practices of folk songs that the general world view of a people is exposed. Through contemplation, appreciation, and analytical approaches, this research report reveals some of the set ideas, views, opinions, beliefs, and norms of the Igbo about the cosmos, nature, and providence, embodied in the folk songs of Mike Ejeagha—a folkloric popular musician of that regional extraction. |
