Musical Instruments

Igbo music

Igbo music (Igbo: Egwu nkwa ndi Igbo ) is the music of the Igbo people, who are indigenous to the southeastern part of Nigeria. The Igbo traditionally rely heavily on percussion instruments such as the drum and the gong, which are popular because of their innate ability to provide a diverse array of tempo, sound, and pitch. Igbo music is generally lively, upbeat, and spontaneous, which creates a variety of sounds that enable the Igbo people to incorporate music into almost all facets of their daily lives. Some very popular Igbo musical styles are Igbo highlife, Ogene, Igbo gospel.
