Jonathan39: I knew Ausuma before I knew the others. That doesn't change the fact that Enugu has more renowned Ogene players than other southeast states, which is what I was saying. Ausuma is already on the list by the OP. Give us another renowned name if you have one. 2 Likes |

RedboneSmith: Calm down bro. This isn’t an Anambra vs Enugu fight. I don’t know how old you are or how old some of the posters here are including Afam. Ogene actually is an Anambra thing. Agaba, Okwomma, Okoti masquerades were very popular in Anambra back in the days and the primary musical instruments for these legendary masquerades are Ogene. Nri, Agukwu, Enugwu ukwu, Awka, Achi towns were very popular with their masquerades and ogene sounds. These were when the Inyiagbaoku masquerades were very popular in Enugu.... In the 70s/80s, if you went to Obiagu and Onuasata during Easter, New Year and other festivities, the big masquerades were Ayaya masquerades...Ejike Nwamba honed his ogene skills as a child celebrity with Ayaya...pioneers of this great masquerade were mixed...Anambra, Enugu and Imo residents in Enugu.... Then you have the Ogui Boys from Oba street, Egede Lane, Ogidi st etc. This was mainly populated by people who work at the ‘ Timber shed’ around Oba street. Most of these workers and Ogui Boys group were from Ekwulobia town. Around Moore House st Ogui, there was the Moorwhouse boys headed by Ogenna Ikeme who was at National grammar school Nike at the time, he later played for Rangers and Vasco. Then there another guy who leads or holds their ite/akpa ogwu...his nick name was Taata. One young ogene celebrity called Chido was their chief ogene man, Chido attended Maryland Boys. There was no distinction between Anambra and Enugu at the time...but in Okoti, Okwomma masquerades, Anambra people were very conservative, Enugu guys had other masquerades...Amagunze boys had a popular and scary group called ‘Black Children’ of Amagunze. They wore blacks with red bands on their heads. The men who were in this group should be in their 60s-70s now....Ayaya group apart from the Nwambas should be in their 60s-80s...same as Ogui Boys whose slogan was ‘ Ogui adi agba boi. There were other groups from Abakpa, Awkunanaw. You can’t really start talking about Ogene music in anywhere without mentioning Ogene Ikpachi of Nri. They had their music on vinyl. Their strength was their ogene songs. Most of what the new generation ogene musicians like Ejike, Igboja, Donchester sing now were old songs done in the 70s-80s by Nri people. Try and listen to ogene with an unbiased mind. Igbojaja is popular because he is readily available and interacts with guys who come to Okpara sq to exercise and also his YouTube channels. Ejike Nwamba is popular, he is an old hand and also has YouTube channel. Shidodo used to be very popular. He popularised ogene music. His cassettes and CDs could be bought at Obiagu junction. Pls check out Owoblow and Man pass man. He plays undiluted ogene. If you love egwu nmanwu and ogene...search and listen to Awutolo and Fada from Enugu Ukwu with their Ogene Nkpakija. Awutolo is dead now but his songs can’t be touched. He is a legend. If you want to hear and appreciate ogene that’s different from Nwamba and Igbojaja....listen to Ogene Opanka....Ogene Opanka Ijele. This guy is easily recognisable. He balances a bottle of beer or alcohol on his head before he starts. He is really talented. He is into Ogene and Egwu nmanwu. Then there is Donchester and Jantamanta is is another talented guy. 15 Likes 1 Share |

oglalasioux: You can’t really blame these guys. Times changes and they want to try out things and adapt to popular demands. Church and it’s influence has dealt traditional ogene a hard blow. Most of the the talents in Ogene genre incorporate various instruments to attract ‘church goers’. Some of them don’t sing traditional ogene/nmanwu songs anymore. They had to sing some gospel or mention Christ and Chineke to sell their musics. Udubunchi did that, Shidodo tried that. Ejike Nwamba and co are doing that now. They’ve also turned to praise singers to earn cash. It happens in every music. Even Snoop Dogg would make music with Justin Bieber to attract young teenagers. |

Lol Well, Enugu has the lead when it comes to OGENE. Anambra nnem has beautiful ogene sound but Enugu is dominating, currently. |

Anambra has been playing OGENE even before Enugu boys became popular. Personally, I think its a shared culture. For instance, the Agaba and Okwomma instruments are strictly OGENE. |
