摘要
Scholarship on Ìrègún music, as an indigenous musical tradition, has attested to the performance practices of the genre yet very little is known on the connections of the music to environmental sustainability and nature spaces. Representations of nature space generally serve as an anchor for societal norms, values, and virtues. This article examines the nature and cultural spaces in Ìrègún music. I employed ethnographic method with musical and textual analysis to examine the concept of nature, animals, and their cultural signifier in Ìrègún music. Through ecomusicology theory, I argue that Ìrègún songs serve as a tool for didactic, corrective, social, and environmental sustainability awareness spaces.
