Big ups to the oyibos singing in Igbo perfectly!

The lyrics goes thus:

Amuworo ayi otu nwa - unto us a child is born
Otu nwa nwoke ka e nyeworo ayi - a male child that was given unto us
Chineke, Chineke - God the creator, God the creator
Otu nwa ka e nyeworo ayi - a child that was given unto us.


Anything is possible!

Translated in Italian:

TRADUZIONE (rid.)
Vieni e ascolta la storia del Figlio di Dio
che è morto sulla croce per te

Vieni e purificati nel sangue di Gesù Cristo
che è morto sulla croce per te

Fratello, vieni,
ascolta la storia del figlio di Dio.
Nato a Betlemme da una vergine,
il più grande Maestro
predicò il regno del Padre
e compiva miracoli:
l'acqua si mutava in vino,
i ciechi vedevano,
gli storpi camminavano
e i lebbrosi venivano mondati

Vieni, e ascolta la storia
del Signore Gesù

Dang.... Igbo is just one kind sweet tribe like that eeehn that i just feel like believing in reincarnation so i can come back and be an igbo boy again...

WOW! There are churches in Sweden?

















And oh yeah... their Igbo is on point

practicing something over and over again is the only way to learn to do it well.

If this was just an audio recording I would have sworn that this was a church choir from somewhere in Ala Igbo. Nice one by the Swedes!

Wowwwwwww this is so amazing...

My problem with catholic church is, the few times I attend mass, there keep changing to unknown languages all the time, I hardly know if what there are saying is in spanish, latin, greek or ibibio. The father recites stuffs in a scary barritone, everyone answers! {that's the point were I look so clueless} I know that's how some swed's wud be feeling right now . All the same, its cool our language is recognised ova there.

Singing competition on nairaland.

Na so cathedral go big na only 10 people go come church

Good but I think the Yoruba language,literature and music still remains the foremost in Africa.
There are Germans playing gangan a Yoruba percussion instrument, Titilayo oyibo e.t.c.
God bless the Yorubaland.
Yoruba my motherland.
