Abstract
Africa is a continent of multi-ethnic culture with attendant multi-ethnic indigenous music. The practices of music, being an important aspect of day-to-day activities of multi-ethnic people requires a unitary theory that cut across ethnic barriers for the purposes of wider understanding and globalization in the changing times. To achieve these complex objectives, this paper, immediately start to philosophize about the appropriate unitary theory behind the sounding materials of Yoruba indigenous music. With this as our focus, the paper beams it searchlight into the appropriateness and relevance of Heinrich Schenkers indigenous music theory as a philosophical yardstick in understanding Yoruba indigenous music. The paper strives to bring to bear the suitability of Schenkerian folk music theory citing a Yoruba indigenous music and then posits these findings as suitable to serve as a unitary theory to analyze the Nigerian multi-ethnic musical genres.
