She is popularly Known as the Queen of Egedege!..
Her songs Rocked the 80s and 90s are still evergreen!. .
Her Album IJELE ELUBEGO was the pride of Igbo music!..
Our Parents and elders must be familiar with this line: "Ijele elubego, mu na onye ga agba egwu o?!".
If you are counting igbo music legends, Theresa Onuora must be on the list..

Her Egedege Dance is one of the most renowned traditional dance outfits and an Igbo traditional Royal-styled cultural dance in the whole of South Eastern Nigeria . Founded in 1985, it is a reincarnation of an old version originally performed by the ancestors of the present-day Unubi. In those days, it was a moonlight dance, performed by youths. It has however been remodeled to fit modern trends. Their performance is a combination of songs, dance, Instrumentation and colorful traditional outfits. Their performance is introduced by elaborate fluting which is the entrance cue that heralds the group, led by the queen. The singing only begins when the queen reaches the stage and takes the microphone. She arrives under a big umbrella, carried by one man, with another fanning her from behind. She sings but sometimes dance to the rhythm of the instrument. Egedege dance was made popular by Her (Mrs Theresa Onuorah) in unubi Town. She is happily married and lives in unubi till date. The name Egedege stems from a local slang for richness and bravery which explains why the dance is considered Cultural classics and are only played in a royal homes or rich families.

Queen Theresa Onuora is still much healthy and alive.. We gathered it is near impossible to get her perform at functions as her Daughter has perfectly taken over from her though she was spotted sometimes last month in flesh and blood performing At Rev.Fr Prof. Bona umeogu'' Inaugural Lecture at Awka,Anambra state..

May the Queen of Egedege live long!
