Abstract: The Pre and Post Covid-19 advocacy for greening and safeguarding the integrity of the living planet has found a creative expression in the traditional music of the Jukun. For many decades the indigenous Jukun communities of the Wukari Local Government Area of the Southern region of Taraba State, Nigeria has received a countless number of threat and contention for their cultural and physical space. Even though there are literature on the history of the Jukun and its socio-cultural crisis, there is little or no tangible literature on music engagement in this regard. This study employed the qualitative research method through an ethnographic survey of the deployment of music and its various creative medium in instigating and motivating communal involvement of the people in contending for their cultural and physical space. Textual analysis of the selected song samples is carried out to achieve the aforementioned. Through interviews, observations and literature review, relevant data for the study were gathered, analyzed and presented accordingly.
