Alright, seriously. Where, other than Stubby's, are you going to hear Christmas carols sung in Igbo? Huh? Huh? Igbo is the language spoken in southeastern Nigeria. Igbo music is very upbeat and heavy on percussion and beat. This specific "style" is referred to as IgboHip, which (I think) is a combination of Igbo and HipHop. I'm sure someone will turn up to correct me on all that. The Igbo people are primarily Christians, and Ccioma said she drew inspiration for this medley of traditional carols from her early years in the church. Coming to Stubby's isn't just a good time; it's an educational experience.
Ccioma is a popular artist in that part of Africa, having been the featured vocalist for Rox Nation as well as Tim Godfrey & Xtreme. Yes, I know these bands....about as well as you do. And that's about all I can tell you (the Google is rather unforgiving in its links to African bands and vocalists. Or maybe they just don't do the whole website thing).
What I do know is that "Ccioma's Carol" is a free download. If you're as fascinated as I am, you've gotta grab it. It's a full on "free download blitz" for the lady and you can get the song here, here, or here, to point out just three places it can be found.
