DAUKAKA GA ALLAH.

When the choir strikes up "Daukaka Ga Allah," the joy in the church is immediate. Composed by Daniel Ibrahim, this Hausa setting of the Gloria brings a vibrant, rhythmic energy to the introductory rites of the Mass. The title translates to "Glory to God," and the music perfectly captures that exultant praise, inviting the whole congregation to join in the celebration.

The arrangement is structured to keep everyone engaged, featuring a lively refrain that alternates with the traditional verses of the Gloria. As the choir moves through the text—offering worship to the Father, calling upon Jesus Christ the Lamb of God ("Dan Tunkiya na Allah"), and glorifying the Holy Spirit—a recurring "Daukaka" from the tenors serves as a bright cue leading back into the main chorus. It is a wonderful choice for festive Sunday Masses and solemnities, lifting the hearts of the faithful right at the beginning of the liturgy.
