Ibira musicians

 Today, I bring you the conclusion of the first part of Ibira people's life and culture. We begin with Ofelele. Ofelele is a man who sang about life itself. He brought out everything about everything that music could possibly give. Another icon to be remembered even in years to come is Adeku. His music was both educative and informative. He was a man of the people.
  From Okene Kogi state, is another great man...Ijaguda. Ijaguda's music was unique in the sense that  he was known to sing with masquerades. This normally happens during the month of December popularly known as 'Ekwechi'. It is a time when cultural celebrations are at its peak with masquerades and musicians giving out their best to the communities and tourists.
 I round it up with two female stars , Juwa and Ohunene. These two are individuals who have made both money and fame from music. I will be bringing in new updates as time goes on about musicians and icons including their biography. Adijo (bye).
