Biafra Choral Society (London) - Birth Of A Nation Biafra

Review by Olivyah Martini

The album "Birth of a Nation Biafra" by the Biafra Choral Society (London) is a powerful and moving tribute to the Nigerian Civil War and the struggle for Biafran independence. The album is a collection of traditional Biafran songs and hymns, performed by the choir with great passion and skill.

The album opens with the haunting "Biafra Anthem," a stirring call to arms that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, the choir moves through a variety of songs, including "Ojukwu's March," "Nkwa Umuagbogho," and "Ojukwu Speaks." Each of these songs tells a different story of the Biafran struggle, and the choir performs them with a deep sense of reverence and respect.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Ejim Nk'onye Ndi Igbo," a beautiful hymn that speaks to the resilience and strength of the Igbo people. The choir's harmonies on this song are particularly impressive, and the song is a moving tribute to the culture and traditions of the Igbo people.
