Fast rising Nigerian gospel artiste, Moz has been hitting the cyber space with lot of great tunes lately and he is back with a new single titled – Obi. OBI is an igbo song born from a famous Igbo chant used in hailing a king but in this case Moz is hailing The King of kings (God).
In Moz’s Words;
“One day, in a place of waiting on the Lord and worshiping, God drew my attention to this folk song from the Igbo people “Obi Kererenke Obi”. After singing the song for a while I decided to research the true meaning of the song. This is what I found: The word Obi is used by Igbo people as a title of respect and homage to the king. Obi is normally the center building for receiving visitors in an Igbo leader’s or man’s homestead; and when used as a title of respect for the king, Obi implies: “the one who sits in the throne house or heart of the Kingdom.”
I marvelled at God’s sense of humor as this song was a chant people usually raise to keep physical activities such as jogging and marching lively. No attention was paid to the meaning of the song. Immediately I ran into the studio and recorded the song the way I was singing it while worshiping.”
Beautiful sound right there, you’d love it.
Download, listen and enjoy!
