- Abstract
The paper examines the relevance of music in Nollywood, the Nigerian home video film industry. There is a dearth of critical works on music studies in Nollywood. Film critics and scholars engage themselves more on socio-political, economic and technical issues when Nollywood is discussed as a means to promote cultural art form. It is against this backdrop of the neglect of sounds, especially music in Nollywood in critical discourses, that this paper attempts to examine the relevance of music in the realization of the composite sense of realism in the Nigeria film practice. Also, this research uses content analysis method to investigate how music facilitates the easy communication of the cineaste’s message to the film audience. The research reveals that while music and actions are complimentary, they are also imperative for the audience to fully decode the meaning of the film.
