Igbo popular music

kulata · 04-02-2007, 11:40 PM

Can anybody list the genres of popular Igbo music that exists? Like yorubas have Fuji, Juju, Akpala, Waka, Yoruba highlife, Afrobeat, Were/ajisari etc

I am interested in knowing about them and actually collecting some.

lol that is a genre that was single handedly pioneered by Gentleman Mike Ejeagha. Nobody tells stories like him NOBODY
But before him there was Pius Chigbo he was da originator with classics like Long John, Peter na Paul, babby anna na jacob,headmaster na caroline etc
Of recent years Apama Boy is keeping da genre alive another wonderful story teller with classics like Apama, Pericoma,Iwu ndi uka, etc
