Chapter One: Introduction

1.1 Background of the Study

Indigenous music plays an integral role in the cultural heritage of communities in Nigeria, with each ethnic group possessing distinct musical traditions and practices. In Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State, indigenous music is deeply intertwined with the daily life, rituals, and identity of the local people. However, the documentation of this music remains insufficient, especially in the face of modernization and the global popularity of more mainstream music genres. Photography offers an opportunity to capture and preserve the performance, instruments, and cultural context of indigenous music. Photographs of musical performances, festivals, and the musicians themselves can provide a rich, visual record of these traditions. This study explores the role of photography in documenting indigenous music in Madagali, examining how it contributes to the preservation and appreciation of the region's musical heritage.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

Despite the importance of indigenous music in Madagali, there is limited documentation of the region's musical traditions. The decline in the popularity of traditional music, coupled with a lack of proper preservation efforts, has led to the potential loss of this valuable cultural resource. Photography, which has proven effective in documenting various cultural practices, remains underutilized in the context of indigenous music. This study seeks to explore how photography can play a role in documenting and preserving indigenous music in Madagali, contributing to the sustainability of the region's musical traditions.
