Assessment: JAMB UTME - Igbo - 2025 Subject: Igbo

Question 1 Report

Kedu n'ime ndị a bụ abụ ọdịnala Igbo?

Answer Details

The question asks which of the listed options is a traditional Igbo song or music genre. The answer is Egwu ekpili. Ekpili is a traditional Igbo musical genre and dance form originating from the Igbo-speaking areas of southeastern Nigeria. It is performed during cultural celebrations, festivals, marriages, and community gatherings, using traditional instruments such as the ekwe (wooden slit drum), ogene (metal gong), and udu (clay pot drum).

Ekpili is deeply rooted in Igbo cultural heritage and is distinct from modern or foreign music genres. The other three options - Egwu rap (rap music), Egwu jazz (jazz music), and Egwu reggae (reggae music) - are all Western or Afro-Caribbean musical genres that originated outside of Igbo culture and do not qualify as traditional Igbo music (abu odinala).
