ogene udu 1

[eugeneskeef]

Hey JHL, thanks for your comment. I have just checked out the video on your channel - I love what you're doing. Amazing in every aspect!!!!!!!

[JHL]

@eugeneskeef Thank you for your kind words. I'm revisiting this video every now and then be inspired by these amazing musicians. I'm hoping that this, and all the other musical treasures coming out of Africa will get more recognition in the rest of the world during the coming decades. This stuff should be performed in the great concert halls and dance halls all over the world.

[JHL]

Killing!

I'm in Love with who I am...pure Nwafor (Igbo boy) undiluted!

[eugeneskeef]

The guy playing the single-hole udu is using a soft beater improvised from a piece of sponge.

[fiddlerize]

could you please tell me what he is playing the water jug (udu) with?

[eugeneskeef]

Thanks for your comment murphy4God. Just send me an email at eugeneskeef@gmail.com and we can start talking about bringing the guys to Japan. There's much more great music they can perform.

[ofirharlev]

at first when I saw these dancing dudes I was a bit amused by their weird looking dance routine, but after dozens of times watching this video I realize that if I were to be lucky enough to be there I would have done exactly that same dance :)

still amazing after all this time. Bravo

I'm reading a book that mentions the ogene and i decided to check it out. glad I did, as a drummer and musician i can say these are outrageous rhythms and splitting. also, check out the chops on these guys :D

[eugeneskeef]

Thanks for your comment. I really appreciate it. Please tell me t title and author of the book you mention.

[U0777]

@eugeneskeef

[Emeka7777]

Ogene! These are guys are really talented. If they were in western world , the will make money.

[VraiDiouf]

@Emeka7777 That is true, same can be said for many other Musicians in West Africa. From Nigeria to Senegal.

[venetiancat]

[barakschmool]

way to go eugene. thanks for bringing this to our attention. yoruba music is easy to find, igbo not so... and it is very beautiful too.

[WorldWatcher9]

Like how the different array of instruments chime in. such complex rhythms made from simple instruments like the udu. I've been studying african music for 5 years part of a personal journey to reconnect with my heritage. the more I see how diverse africas cultures are ...I realize one lifetime is'nt enough.Africa is a tapestry of wonders

[PacificAntidote]

very cool video

[richardolatunde]

superb!....fans of Nigerian music may also wish to view lagbaja.com where he has videos of Yoruba drum ensembles that are broken down in a similar way to this one

[Jacobbmarley]

@richardolatunde thanks

[cherubina]

Wow!

[chrisodili]

[anambrasfinest]

OGENE !!!!

[tuxedomaskluver]

[kenslay]

Ogene umu Enugu na we get am. lol

[18battalion]

These smart and highly skilled players deserve Ph.Ds to be awarded.

If we start awarding Ph. Ds in these areas, no country will rival us in the musical industry.

[fdm03chick]

igbo land is blessed...does not matter if u from Imo state....Anambra...Enugu..Abia­...parts of delta and rivers...we are all igbos Igbo kwenu

[ThatsABiggon]

OMG, no place on earth rivals the rhythmic genius & beauty of Africa... BAR NONE!!!

[IpkisStanley]

I agree except for slough!

[watkissca]

The origins! still very much alive and kicking. Beautiful.
