Music of Ibo

Ibo uses many instruments mainly the heart and soul of their music is in their drums. They use a variety of drums to create a beat that the igbo people will be able to dance along to. They use instruments such as an Ekwe, Ogene, Igba, an Oja, and an Udu. They are mostly made of wood with the exception of the Ogene (Made of metal) and the Udu (Made of clay).

Traditional Ibo music is upbeat and very lively. Ibo's are very well known for their singing skills. Their music livens up festivals and without music festivals would probably be a dull event. 

They can also represent many things such as their life or things many Ibo people believe in.
