Ilorin Waka
== Ilorin Waka is a popular Islamic and Yoruba cultural music The Ilorin Waka is an islamic and  cultural oral entertainment form, usually performed at a given ceremony. During its performance, people gather to savour the melody that the solemn danceable local rendition provides. The Waka is an interplay of education, sermonisation or sensitisation and other sundry messages bothering on serious matters of life, skillfully and meaningfully woven together in unique language. Also, the content of the songs communicate messages of grievance to the government and during merry times. However, these songs are composed to fit into relaxation and leisure mode. The development of Waka music evolved from Seli, a brand of singing in traditional Ijebu society as procession on ceremonial occasions. In fact, Waka music emerged earlier than juju and fuji music. Iya Aladuke and General Ayinla Killington are popular Ilorin Waka singers among others. ==
