The high life music in whatever variety style or lyrics it is presented, still remains the traditional dance music of the East popularized in and outside by the likes of late Chief Peter Ekwunite and Oliver the Coque.
Last week at Okporo Tech School Orlu witnessed the debut of a new high life Album titled “Ije Uwa” by a budding artiste, Chibueze Odum alias “Chibu de Coque”.
The occasion of the launching of the debut produced and presented by the young artiste attracted music lovers and artistes from all over the country to the venue on Tuesday April 7, 2015, where the young musician displayed his prowess in both the handling of the guitar and vocals playing some of the tracks in the new album.
Among those who graced the occasion, the launching ceremony attracted several dignitaries from Orlu and beyond including two older artistes, Nze Eugene Akalite (Engene de Coque) whose lyrics reawakened the memories of his late brother, Oliver the Coque amongst the audience.
Another artiste who performed at the occasion to add pep to the celebration was another home grown, down to earth musician, Innocent Chigozie (AKA Jehova bu Oku-nere ere) whose performance also awakened the dancing and singing spirits of the audience.
Among those who also attended the lively debut album launching was the President General of Orluzurumee Youth Assembly, Comr. Precious Nwadike who described the young artiste as a talented guy who will go places in the music industry.
Other important dignitaries who were spotted at the largely crowded occasion were Elder Sabbacom Odum who was the Chief host, Prophet Accason, HRH Eze Iwuoha, Hon. Iyke Ibeakalom and Hon. Obinna Eri.
The new Album produced and marked by P. Sunnytex Nigeria is already in the market all over the places.
