Why Dont We Igbos Appreciate Our Evergreen Musicians

It baffles me our we igbos have failed in celebrations of life, awards, events to appreciate the likes of

Chief Osita Osadebe
Bright Chimezie ( Duke of African Music)
Emeka Morocco Maduka
Chief Dr. Oliver Sunday Akanite (Oliver De Coque)
Oriental Brothers
Chief Pericoma Okoye

I stay in far away United States and I know how much goes out of my pocket heavily every weekend just so I can sit at some bar and listen to great songs like

Pericoma - upper Iweka

goose pimples get all over me.

Its a different story back home as i rarely hear the songs of these great artist at events whenever in Nigeria compared to the South Westerners who cherish and treat the likes of King Sunny Ade and Chief Commander as Kings and gods

How many youths of nowadays can boast of turntable discs of these great artists
I have personally enforced on my kids to revere, cherish, appreciate and listen to these music at home and spread the knowledge and wisdom sayings in these songs wherever they are rather than these contemporary music that only preaches sex violence and women

These artist those days were gods and mouth pieces of the gods compared to our modern day Pastors and Imams

Lets do all that we can to spread the richness of Igbo highlife and traditional Nigerian music

Fp tins

omenala bu njiri mara ndigbo. Great men.

I am a big fan of osadebe, and I listen to his songs Anyday anytime anywhere... Infact Ka anyi jikota by osadebe played all through the night while I slept...

Old traditional igbo music rocks!!!

You called then evergreen ..which means never fading which means people are playing them and these people playing them are Igbo

Maybe you don't understand English usage

Pls where can I see Mike ejeagha CD the story teller

That's evergreen

Do we ever appreciate anything

I will never forget Osondi Owendi chai Igbo love that song so fuvking much.

We Igbos don't appreciate what we have. Everybody dey complain king on his own Lane, till we start giving respect to those who really deserve it before we will move forward. Ndi Igbo Kanyi hu onwe anyi na anya

its because ppl like u criticise everything in Igbo land without proper knowledge of d situation thereby perforating our culture....I na enyelu ndi ofe mmanu aka akojor ndigbo! rapu is iji ....

Op, i appreciate all the songs you mentioned above. There's no day I don't play any of them because they are the only meaningful songs in Nigeria, with good instrumentals and not computer genrated studio beats.

OP...we appreciate all of them so much. These are my favorites

IJELE...FAST FORWARD TO 2:00

OSADEBE...FIRST SONG.

I will never quit their songs because they are the only ones whose songs are meaningful.

Op no time for that

I love their musics, but is not something you play all the time.

It's not all of d igbos na, some are very appreciative of them.

My Igbo barber bores the life out of me with those songs.

Some times prophets are never recognized in their home/towns. I rest my case.

Even parents no longer give their children igbo names, other tribes mostly yorubas always give their kids yoruba names and stick to it even if the same kid have nice english names. We igbos will be forming upgrade and porsh life styles speaking igbotic english to their kids instead of teaching them the basic igbo values ane cultures. We pay high bride price because we value our women and marriage institution but now so many igbos cant speak or understand igbo language. We have to go back to our roots before its too late. I rep Umuahia and Pro. Obewe home n away.

I from I solo , but I love the Igbo tune more

simply coz d younger generations didnt get to knw em much and dada mama dnt go on social.medias doesnt mean their legacy dnt live on...#Respect

upper Iweka was not done by Pericoma, it was done by Ibealoke Chukwukezili @femifanikayode

a song must not have meaning abeg... too much meaning in a song makes it uncomfortable to listen to.

Ogam... K'am gwa gi eziokwu, iwere ezigbo point ka imere! Weldone Nwanne!!

Can any good thing come out of igboland?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY 'APPRECIATE'?

Dan Orji(Edi kwansa, Ije uwa etc ), Paulson Kalu(Okwudili), Ali Chukwuma(Ego ji Olu) Ozoemena nwa nsugbe, etc... Those songs can get to my spine

FemiFaniKayode, stop generalizing, igbos appreciate their art and judging by your name, why are you carrying gala for the igbos when you borrowed a Yoruba name? The appreciation starts from you! IGBO AMAKA!!!!!

crunchyg:

Name one good thing that didn't come out of igboland

You forgot to mention the best of all evergreen musicians. Ever heard of Celestine Ukwu?

I'm just hearing those names for the first time, they really exit?

People just come to say rubbish assertion from their bed.

Here in Lagos all local bar we have here can never play music from our local artists like Wiz Kid and co, else nobody (Igbo Traders) will patronize the bar.

Go to the east you hardly even hear songs from our local artist(I schooled in the east). Only Igbo Christian songs or songs from the artist you just listed OP.

Personally, I don't like music coming from the likes of Wiz Kid and co. I have songs from all the artist you listed in my phone and I play them regularly.
