Traditional Igbo Music by Abagworo(m): 8:52pm On Mar 01, 2017 |
In recent times many Igbos have erroneously subscribed to highlife as traditional music mostly because highlife musicians gained more urban acceptability than other forms of purely Igbo originated music. I opened this thread so that younger Igbo generation on Nairaland can appreciate Igbo music that is not Osadebe, Sunny Bobo, Oliver, Morroco, Flavour etc. I will start with one of my favorites Theresa Onuorah and her Egedege which is a nickname to an ancient music of Unubi in Igbo heartland present day Anambra State. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7P1fr2FRwTk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqXh9PKmSm8 |

Yes Pericoma Okoye died recently but has been one of the men still dishing out traditional Igbo music. He is from Arondizuogu which is a community founded by Aros from Abia State and a combination of other Igbo clans found in present day Imo and Abia States. He is known for his incredible masquerades. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hkurnfl_yqo |

Klinee: Of course Anambra and Imo are brothers and form the core of Igboland. The Northern part of Imo and Southern part of Anambra are settled in same pattern and exhibit similar character like Nnewi, Ihiala, Ozubulu, Orlu, Igboukwu, Amichi, Awo, Ezinifite, Ekwulobia, Akokwa, Nnobi, Uli, Uga, Nkwerre etc. and when you observe from google earth you will notice that belt is extremely built up for a rural area. |

Show Promoter is a traditional Igbo musician from Igbo heartland in Imo State. This song "Azu Alala" is one of his well known. It tells of the suffering from the 1st fall in oil prices in early 1980s when meat, fish and chicken became unaffordable for Nigerians. In this case he made mention of Ogili which is one smelly thing used in making traditional soup in Igbo heartland area. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BZyu2nu9As |

"Anambra na Imo bu umunne, anam ekene o! Udo dili unu dili anyi o"! " Nwa mama na ife di nma n' ona adi anyi nma". I love Theresa Onuorah songs. just listened to them on Sunday. Anambra na Imo in that context of her song doesn't mean Anambra and Imo state of today. It meant the entire SE. It meant the entire SE, because in the Early 80's, the entire SE had just two states ie, Imo( present day Abia state, present Imo, and Afikpo/Ohaozara parts of Ebonyi) and Anambra( present Anambra, Enugu and Ezza/Ikwo/Izzi/Ngbo part of Ebonyi). Anambra na Imo= The entire SE. 3 Likes |

We are not the same people with you people because we don't even marry from your state as we consider it sacrilegious. Deal with the reality. Ezi ofia. [s] Abagworo:[/s] |

Abagworo: Only one person is quarreling with all igbo states, SMH. Na Enugu people fit that guy. Anytime he tries crap on a thread that praises Enugu, it's either he is ignored or even Anambra/other igbos come against him. Give him total negligence and he will fizzle out.

Re: Traditional Igbo Music by pazienza(m): 8:07pm On Mar 02, 2017 |
I loved the early version of Chino under his numerous monikers such as "Schematics", he usually defended all parts of Igboland against the rabidly Igbophobic entities in NL. He was the type that took no prisoners, like a one man Army. That Chino is long gone. What we now have is a self destructive agent that attacks all Igbo groups from Imo to Abia to Enugu to Ebonyi, but has no time to reply Igbophobic posts directed at Igbos by our enemies. Sometimes, I wonder if it's same person that started the Chino revolution that is still behind these new Chino monikers. It's so hard believing they are same person. 1 Like |

Young03: Udubonchi is dope. As a man brought up and raised in Enugu South, I can't get enough of Udu bonchi! My best Udubonchi track is that one they featured a certain Molokwu from Illah. That track in that album that the chorus is "Ah ohh" is my favourite. "Ya abuna na obu eziokwu, n' udubonchi n'Obe ana" "Ah oh o" "Akwa ariri egbuo muo" "Ah oh o" "Onwu ike na odinu njo" Use to have it on constant repeat those days!

agadez007: True! Abagworo and betterAbia are not helping issues too. It is not bad enough that the entire Nigerian groups are infested with a rabid case of Igbophobia, and we have to tame them on daily basis here. We now have to deal with self destructive agents aka "Agu unos" that had decided to attack their fellow Igbos, rather than seeing beyond their myopia the bigger picture that we all face a common enemy. Me, I can only ignore them, but I'd be lying if I say that their actions here don't trouble me. 1 Like |

agadez007: Of course I did. This is the old Chino I knew: https://www.nairaland.com/2330306/functioning-seaport-economic-technological-revolution/8 The one that would target the most Igbophobic of Yorubas here, and use them for toys over many pages of funny exchanges. That's the old Chino I knew. The current version is the opposite, only interested in fighting fellow Igbos and their states. I can't remember the last time I saw him take on Yorubas again. It's hard not to notice the change. 1 Like |

Re: Traditional Igbo Music by Abagworo(m): 9:11pm On Mar 02, 2017 |
pazienza: Chino has never been pro-Igbo because he is not an Igbo man but Igala. His interest is in using Anambra as a launch point to create division among us. Both me and BetterAbiastate only tried to tame his stupid arss. Right now I've discovered that most of the Anambra anti-Igbo comments are all his monikers with few innocent ones coming in to side him without knowing his manipulative intentions. |

Hopeless frustrated old hag. You know that you are the cause of all the problems and divisions going on here on NL. You stance on Anambra with your launch pad Imo state is well know on this board. Though you have always tried to deny it. It took my consistent effort of horse whipping and dealing a great blow on you and your useless and worthless Imo state to reset you and got you to stay away from my state. Your demonic outing on Anambra would have continued had I not clipped your wings till this moment. [s] Abagworo:[/s] |
Re: Traditional Igbo Music by Doug07034780891(m): 9:26pm On Mar 02, 2017 |
Brother it is the same Chino. Chino left yoruba divide and focused on Imo state when he realised that the frustrated old man called abagworo is out to dent the image of Anambra on this board. Chino took it upon himself to face Imo state where abagworo comes in retaliation. This has brought some level normalcy because they already knew the implications of attacking Anambra. Chino sole duty is to monitor abagworo's comments and peruse them as it affects him and his state. pazienza: |
Re: Traditional Igbo Music by pazienza(m): 9:29pm On Mar 02, 2017 |
Abagworo: You tried to tame him by denigrating Anambra and Ndi Anambra, calling our Aguleri brothers Igalas, our Nri people Igalas too. Posting bad pics of Anambra? You are not serious. Do you kill a mosquito that perched on your scrotum with hammer? Cos if Chino were indeed Igala, then that's exactly what you and BetterAbia had done. Klinee is an Igala man from Anambra, and he is not Igbophobic. I'v even seen him defend Ndiigbo at times here. So this Chino is Igala theory to cover your unnecessary attack on Anambra will not work. 2 Likes |

This is still the same problem. It is not good to pay lip service that Anambra has anything to do with the ordinary Imo state when we all know that an average Anambra family would not want to marry an Imo state girl. In my family we consider it sacrilegious to marry from Imo state. My younger brother brought a girl from Mbano but Umunna almost dealt with him before he had to abandon the entire thing despite the fact that he had got a LIST from her parents. Delta Igbo inter marry so much with Anambra than you can ever find from Anambra going to Imo state to marry. However I must admit that in flirting/relationship Imo girls are the best but once it gets to married issues it is a NO NO. Imo state people are similar to Akwaibom people, both male and female. Anambrans have nothing in common with these people. Let us start to face reality than all these online academic exercise. pazienza: |
