There's something about accompanying Igbo praise and worship songs with the electric lead guitar that makes me appreciate it more. Maybe it's the coolness and calmness of the rhythm/beat that does the magic or maybe its because I'm a fan of Highlife music. But, I believe the calmness makes it easier for the lead guitarist to give some sweet guitar lead lines without having to stress himself. You really don't need extra speed to give some sweet solo lines, just flow with the groove and you'll realize that each note you play will be worth it.

@magicfingerz can surely relate with this feeling, and I'm sure the great baba is also missing it. Its something you can play for hours without getting tired or out of notes because of the heavy reliance on creating sweet rhythm as compared to jumping up and down with solo.

One other reason I think it's this way is because of the organization of the instruments, such that all instruments play vital role in the song. Hence, when each instrument/Instrumentalist is called to give an interlude, then they'll perform their best in just the short time alloted.


I went home to my parent's place and after my cousins and I sang and played for hours, I remembered that we could do one song and I'll use for Afri-tunes. Well, we decided to pick this beautiful song, "There's a Beautiful Home."

The song is an eulogy about the Heavenly Home, where God dwells with His angels. It speaks about how beautiful this heavenly abode is, and how the angels and saints sing and praise God.


Chinedu does the singing, Ksam plays the guitar and Victor hits two drum sticks. Yea, they are both drummers (including my immediate elder brother who is their tutor - not in the video).

I hope you enjoy this piece.

All rewards will be shared.


LYRICS


IGBO

Ala di mara mma
Na ebe di anya
Ebe ndinso bi
Ona enwu ka ighe

Nuru abu nso
ana buru onye nweanyi
ana enye ya ekele
rue ebiye ebi

Iyokoko, iyokoko
iyo ko ko ko ko ko ko, Iyokoko
iyo ko ko ko ko ko ko, Iyokoko

ENGLISH

There is a beautiful home
in a far away land
where the saints of God
are gathering

Hear the sweet melody
they are singing unto the Lord
they are giving Him
forever more

Lyrics of the song written by me

great Job you guys!

What a beautiful performance by you guys. It is always interesting and fun when 2 or more people take part in singing. When one plays the guitar, another takes on a different one and the singing starts to flow with a nice beat and rhythm. You guys did awesomely well.

When I saw the title, I thought it was one I knew.
It turned out to be one I know, but it's the English version I know.
The Igbo accent is giving Africa😁
