User:Gabenwilcox/Ibani language music

Ibani, a dialect of Ijaw tribal language is adorned with beautifully sounding notes.

Ibani music is mostly narrative. Capturing cultural or traditional lifestyle moments. Ibani music is made from one or more instruments, some of which are not peculiar, viz. Ikitiko, Ekere, Alili, clapping sticks and Ngu (water pots), among others. In addition to the traditional musical instruments, there are vocal renditions (singing) that are produced by talented native singers (Ibani susu-furoawo) who are able to meander vocal cords proficiently, inspiring emotional reactions that are sometimes deep(appearance of goose pimples).

Ibani songs are of various types depending on their use and/or purpose: 1. Okporonume 2. Bomanume (praise songs (usually Christian)) 3. Amasiri 4. Ngunume 5. Ibani classicals (a hybrid production from Ibani traditional instruments and European/Asian strings and drums)
