Igbo Language Used In Coldplay's Album by flinton(m): 6:38pm On Feb 15, 2020
I've played Coldplay's new album "Everyday life" for some time, and each time i hear some lines that sound like igbo hymns, but i always shrugged it, there is no way Coldplay will use igbo. The general album have Arabian theme. I felt those line are Arabian lines that resemble igbo not until now!
I shazamed one of the songs lo and behold it was an old igbo Christian hymn song!!

It was featured in two songs
Champion of the world
Bani Adam

The line goes thus
"Gi nwa nke Chukwu, gini ka ina ekwu
N'ihi ihe nile
Nke Chukwu mere"


Kinda excited and i love Coldplay more for this!
