This is beautiful. You are doing a good job with Igbo liturgical music. I particularly like that you are reconstructing the use of these songs, making such old tunes speak to our current realities. I find this new interpretation of old tunes more interesting than (just) creating new compositions, most of which lack in the essences of the liturgy (as we see today in Nigeria). I'm an ethnomusicologist and we may well get to know each other later. Jisike!
Chai...this song. Old time song
Long live Catholic Church
'Ewo nna Chineke! Anyi emehiewo oh! Ewo nna Chineke! Meere anyi ebere!'
My favourite song for supplication
Have mercy on our world O Lord! Have mercy on your son too whom you are using to draw us closer to You through these holy hymns

Beautiful and nostalgic. Good job bro.
It's "amani" (appointed hour/time), not "amara" (grace).
"Amani" = "oge akara aka" in Onitsha dialect.
It's "amani ahu abiawo" not amara ahu abiago
