Igbo traditional music is a genre that is deeply rooted in the culture and traditions of the Igbo people of Nigeria. It is characterized by the use of traditional instruments such as the ogene, ekwe, and udu, as well as call-and-response vocals. The music often tells stories of love, life, and social issues, and is accompanied by energetic dance moves. The genre has produced many notable bands and musicians, who have contributed to its popularity both within Nigeria and internationally.
