ABSTRACT
Music is an indispensable commodity of every society, most especially in the African society. Music has strong effects and influence on the community because of the power it commands. “Music”, a cultural heritage brings every member of the society together. Especially, traditional or local songs. Therefore, through traditional songs, social conscience and cultural wisdom are taught to the people. This study analyses the aesthetics in Lexzy’s music.
