This is visible in their festivals such as Odun isu (Yam festival), Egungun festival, Imole (deity) festival and Ibo-egbe (age grade) festival among others which are celebrated between one to nine years intervals as the tradition permits. While documentations of other aspects of their endeavours (festivals, occupations, religions and cultures) have been made in terms of journal articles, books and television documentaries, the study of music in Akoko historiography is conspicuously negligible. Ogbele music prominently features in festive periods or occasions such as burial ceremonies, child dedications, house warming and marriages. Akoko land is a unique community with diverse ethnic groups with their different language variations. While these communities have their separate dialects, (that span across the four (4) local governments) they seldom use it in their music. Regardless of this, and in spite of their ethnic differences and language variations, Ogbele music functions as a rallying point in the community when the need arises to celebrate their festivals together. Yoruba language or Ekiti dialect is the communicative language in singing. Contingent on this, it is pertinent to investigate and examine the music; its structural features, functions, organisational practice and types of musical instruments used. A multy-disciplinary research methodological approach (i.e. combination of observation, oral interview and library search) was adopted and used to elucidate data in this work. It was discovered that Ogbele music is highly employed and crucial to every indigene of Akoko land though with slight differences. Each community have their version of Ogbele music styles approaches and application due to the ethnic background. The research also divulges that the Ogbele music in Akoko land is enormously rich, though untapped in the sense of documentation and tourism. The work adopts the theory of Narrative flow as theoretical framework by Vilma Hanninnen.
