"Obi Dimkpa" in the Igbo Language

The Musical Society of Nigeria's Diploma Choir performing Lazarus Ekwueme's Igbo Glee "Obi Dimkpa" (a song of brotherhood in the Igbo language). This performance was at the China National Convention Centre in Beijing during the International Society for Music Education's 2010 World Conference. The choir's director, Sir Emeka Nwokedi, is singing the baritone solo.

this song reminds me of my days in Igbobi College ,then we used to compete at the annual shell choral competition.then i had the opportunity of meeting Sir Emeka Nwokedi.sad that most of us just forget abt what we'v learnt prior to the competition.i wish classical music is given a much more attention in Nigeria.Talents wasting!

@ gabby Bola, the choir performed several other selected folk choral pieces and they only used two costumes for the entire performance, it was not a video shoot so they couldnt afford the luxury (of time) to change outfits + it was a school choir representing Nigeria, not igbo in China, they also performed abanije, a yoruba choral piece and several others, i hope this clears the One Nigeria ish if there is i mean
