Igbo music
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Igbos of the Eastern part of Nigeria have a rhythm of music which consists of drums "udu", flute "opi", Ogene, Igba, Ichaka and other instruments.
The Igbos also have a style of music called Ikorodo. It is all the music instruments together while someone is singing.
Nigeria is known as the land of music, and it expresses itself mainly through music. They have an unknown capacity for the love of music, which usually has drums in it, though sometimes not. Traditional music adds a lot of drums to the beat. Some instruments are either used by female or male groups. The Udu is considered feminine and is mostly the center piece of women dance group. The "Ogene" in the other hand depicts the strenght and youthfullness of male dance/masqurade groups. The "ogene" has a smaller size played by the women and children.
