AB  - Music and music education in traditional society in Nigeria 
  is of antiquity. It has played an important role in the inculcation of values 
  and transmission of knowledge among the Yoruba, one of the major ethnic groups 
  in Nigeria. The moral tone of the society was reinforced by various types of 
  music before the introduction of Western music and the value of traditional 
  music as culture and moral enforcer has not been given any serious academic 
  attention. The thrust of this presentation, therefore, is Apala music in Yorubaland 
  with special emphasis on Haruna Ishola, popularly known as Baba n’ 
  Gani Agba, a legend in Apala music. The study presents a discussion and analysis 
  of importance of proverbs used by Haruna Ishola in communication and highlights 
  their significance as an instrument for inculcating moral values, ethical changes, 
  transmission of culture, conservation and agent of culture preservation from 
  one generation to another.
