Chief Michael Udegbi – Nwoke Bu Mmuonwu

Nwoke Bu Mmuonwu is the latest Igbo highlife masterpiece from the only and only Chief Michael Udegbi, the maestro celebrated for his wealthy conventional sound and notion-upsetting Igbo highlife hits. True to his fashion, the Ibobo Akalia crooner can provide another culturally steeped banger that attracts listeners into the heart of Igbo philosophy and folklore.

The title, Nwoke Bu Mmuonwu, interprets to “A Man is a Masquerade,” a metaphorical nod to the enigmatic and revered function of men in society. Chief Udegbi uses the masquerade—mmuonwu, a symbol of authority, thriller, and way of life—to discover subject matters of responsibility, management, and dignity. He reminds us that simply because the masquerade dances with cause and commands admire, so must a person stroll through existence with aim and honor.

With its colourful blend of percussion, horns, and Chief Udegbi’s unmistakable voice laced with proverbs, this track is a quintessential highlife jam. It’s a rhythmic reminder that subculture by no means is going out of favor, particularly when added by using a legend like Chief Michael Udegbi.
