Mmamma! (aka. NYENU CHI GI!) by Alex Ugwu (OZIGE) — Lyrics
About Mmamma! (aka. NYENU CHI GI!)
"Mmamma! (aka Nyenu Chi Gi!)" is a vibrant, high-energy Igbo song of praise and thanksgiving. Composed by Alex Ugwu (Ozige) with a driving "prestissimo" tempo, it immediately calls the choir and congregation to wake up and give thanks to God ("Kụlọtọ n'ụranọ nye Chi gị e kene!"). The piece is built for joyful celebration, demanding spirit, groove, and passion from the singers as they declare God's goodness and acknowledge Him as the ultimate provider.
In the choir loft, this piece shines during moments of exuberant thanksgiving, such as the Offertory, a harvest celebration, or a special choir presentation. The lyrics celebrate God as the one who answers when called ("a kpọ y'oza") and whose blessings have no end. The fast-paced, rhythmic vocal lines layer over each other, creating a wall of joyful sound that naturally moves the congregation to dance and join in the resounding chorus of "Mmamma!"
