Nonso Ogidi steps forward with a tribute soaked in Igbo highlife tradition, and “Tribute to Obiekee Ozokolie” carries weight.
This one honors Obiekei Ozokolie, a figure whose legacy clearly matters to the singer.
The release arrives as a mournful composition, produced and written by Nonso Ogidi himself. It lands under his Jiokemmill imprint, and fans of cultural storytelling will find plenty to connect with here. The singer has built a reputation around meaningful narratives, so this tribute fits his lane perfectly.
His discography already includes albums like “Aku Luo Uno” and “Onye Chi Mere Eze,” both rooted in highlife. He keeps busy too, because his recent live EP “Akwa Okuko Tiwara Aki” shows he still commands attention in the scene.
What stands out most is his voice. Nonso Ogidi sings in flawless native Igbo, and his seasoned, warm delivery controls every moment. The guitars pluck gently while congas hold the rhythm, but his vocal command shapes the song’s direction. He pours emotion into each line, giving the tribute a respectful tone from start to finish.
