Igbo Christian Music (also referred to as Igbo gospel music) is an Igbo traditional musical genre written, performed, and sung to narrate or express Christian faith, values, or topics.[1] The genre is vibrant and spiritually uplifting. It combines Christian religious themes such as praise, hymnals, worship, and other Christian themes with traditional Igbo musical/cultural versions or elements.[2][3] It reflects the fusion of faith, cultural identity, and musical expression within the Igbo Christian community.[4]
