Yes, there are live experiences. Yes, only time brought us devices which we used to consume music. Live performances are a thing, but devices are the primary mode of music consumption. They forge a relationship between humans and the music.
In the earlier days, devices were very stationery. While everything is usually done on our mobile phones these days, some eras had to start with stationed gramophones and vinyl players. In the 70’s, the world really changed for the better with the influx of new materials like the
24-track recording, cassette decks, Quad 8, Karaoke, the turntable and more.
But in Nigeria, the virality of mobile devices didn’t really begin till the 80’s and with the earliest influences of the burgeoning Hip-Hop culture.
