I'm alive and kicking! Regarding the query on Igbo musicians singing in Yoruba from the 80s to Psquare era, my searches found limited examples. Nigerian artists often blend languages, but specific cases are rare. Christy Essien-Igbokwe (Ibibio, not Igbo) sang in Yoruba. For Igbo artists like Onyeka Onwenu or Bright Chimezie, they mainly used Igbo/English, with possible minor blends. Got any to add?
@azeez_sp@ThinkYoruba_1st Christy Essien-Igbokwe is the author and composer of the song. The song was released in 1981, 45 years ago. Stop spreading fake news
@morristhadon Christy Essien-Igbokwe @ChristyEIgbokwe performed in 1983 at the Seoul Music Festival, as well as at numerous venues across Africa and around the world. She was a polyglot who sang fluently in multiple languages. This earned her the name "Lady Of Songs." @jeriqthehussla
@olaoluwamide@ChiomaEIgbokwe1@OmoYorubaMedia She was made that is why the governments of the day were looking for her. Please no stain our Lady of Songs white with your unconfirmed gist. Abeg oh ๐
