Actually, this is not a list of the best Ogene musicians. Rather it's a list of Ogene musicians that you need to know if you don't already know them. They're my favourites at the moment,

Ogene is a style of Igbo music consisting of, and taking its name from, the ogene instrument, which is a large metal bell.[1] The Ogene instrument has historically been made by the Igbo people of Nigeria. It is one of the most important metal instruments of the people.

Now, here's a few of them.

1. Ejyk Mwaba - I like this guy because he's the most forward forward thinking among all Ogene musicians that i know because of how he brings his talent to Social Media especially Youtube and Instagram. I also like his Enugu flair of Ogene which in my opinion is the best.

2. Jajaja : This is another top Ogene Musician and he's reputed to be the best in Enugu State and probably the whole of Igboland.

3. Ausuma Malaika: He's one of the best Ogene musicians in Anambra. Him and his crew are based in Awka. I also like the fact that e has a Youtube Channel.

how does this transcend to ogene musician in igboland?

You listed ogene musicians in Enugu and dubbed it igboland as cover up..

The title should be the best Ogene musicians in Enugu state.

Udubonch deserves a place on this list.

Maybe because Enugu musicians easily dominate that genre.

True. Even though i see them as proper musicians.

Maybe not that it is true.

Juliusmalema:

Okay. I happen to know far more ogene musicians from Enugu State than from any other state. Maybe you should provide a list of non-Enugu ndi egwu ogene that have made an impact of equal magnitude.

RedboneSmith:

Udubonch don't use ogene, if I am right.

If you have others, add them and their YouTube channel/video, you don't just open your mouth and spew trash because you feel you want to make a point.

when it comes to that genre, peeps from Enugu have an upper hand.

Period

Oh, yea. Now that I've thought about it, their music doesn't exactly fit into the ogene genre.

Leave him. I know him and I know why he's pained. He's an Anambra supremacist. He's pained that the OP mentioned only one Anambra ogene player. Ngwanu, help us and add more Anambra ogene players, he can't. Because he doesn't know any.

They're all doing pretty well, especially Ejyk. Meanwhile, I made this short video on Igbo masquerades. Do check it out:

and, if you may, subscribe to the channel.
