Old Igbo Church Songs and Choruses That Made Me: Abu Nke Uka Umuntakiri (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781511699341)

Following the insight and the success stories of the Old Igbo Church Songs and Choruses that Made Me: Ab Nke ka Ndi Okenye, Edith Chuta has dug deeper into the very foundations that made her. This book, Old Church Songs and Choruses that Made Me: Ab Nke ka mntakr, is a source book containing stimulating ideas, reminiscences and reflections on the author's personal experiences and activities as a growing up child both in the church and in her local community. With amazing recollection of old children's songs and choruses, impressive command of written Igbo language and vocabulary, this book is a regeneration of passion in an aspect of Igbo culture nearing extinction. Igbo people at home and in the diaspora will find this book very handy. Undoubtedly, a recording of these songs and choruses (suggested for the next edition) would enhance the benefits and understanding envisioned (especially to Igbo Christian children), and consequently encourage the preservation of Old Church Songs and Choruses.
