"IMA MBEM": HYBRID OF SONG & SPEECH IN IGBO LANGUAGE

Описание к видео "IMA MBEM": HYBRID OF SONG & SPEECH IN IGBO LANGUAGE

It is a hybrid of song and speech in Igbo spoken language called "Ima Mbem". Ordinarily performed by masquerade societies, ima mbem encompasses social commentary with the intent to enlighten, educate and entertain. When performed by masquerade societies, the means of communication can be used to admonish and cajole since the masked speaker/singer is usually unidentifiable. In authentic traditional sense, the voice is muffled thereby making it hard to exactly know who is behind the mask.
