Annotation
This critical discourse analytic study discusses the conflict between the two most prominent Fújì musicians – Barrister and Kollington – on the origin of Fújì music, with special focus on face. Via their song texts, they impair each other's social standing, and mental and physical state, against the Yoruba cultural norms.
