This genre embodies a rich blend of lively rhythms, compelling percussion, and poignant storytelling, capturing the essence of Igbo history, folklore, and social values.

The genre's vitality and resonant messages have allowed it to endure and adapt, continuously captivating audiences both within and beyond the Igbo communities.
