Hello guys, welcome to this wonderful day and I want to also welcome you all to the Afri-leo initiative. It is am initiative where we get to talk about music, share our experience on music and also say our opinions of music, it gives us an opportunity to talk about songs that we love listening to and to also learn from others experience. I am going to be participating in this initiative this week and I am going to be talking on the topic that was given to us.
We were given a very interesting and communicative topic, that we will have to think deep and go back to our villages and cultures before we could talk on or about the topic. The topic that was given to us is " FAVORITE SONG IN YOUR DAILET AND CULTURE". This topic has left us with no option but to go back to our origins and cultures and find that best and interesting song that we were being taught since our childhood, and also those songs that we love listening to.
My dialect or Tribe, is a very great and know tribe, it is called the Igbo tribe, and we love and cherish singing in my dialect. We love and cherish singing to the extend that my mother started to sing for us different songs in our dialect, some songs even had our names in it. She sang for us many songs that were very interesting and that she was taught when she was a kid, it seemed like it was hereditary.
So the Song that I am going to be talking about today is one of my dialect song, it talks about what God can do. My brothers name is also in the song so we were taught the song and we use to use the song anytime we want to make my brother sleep when he was still a child.
The name of the song is 'IFEANYICHUKWU'. The song is talking about what God can do and to which extend he can do it. It says that there is nothing superior to God and there is nothing that God cannot do. It also says that nothing pass God.
My junior brother's name is Ifeanychukuwu, so we used to use the song to tease him anytime he is sad and unhappy. My mother also used the song to make him sleep when he was still a child and I guess the trick worked well. We learnt this song fast because of how it was commonly used in our house due to my brothers name that is in the song. The song has a very good lyrics and it is very interesting to learn and sing at home.
The song is very interesting and I will love to sing a part for you, it goes like this.
Ifeanychukuw Ifeanychineke
