NI WE MAZHI CHO VYU

"Ni We Mazhi Cho Vyu" is a lively call to worship composed by Ishaya D. Abbas in the Jukun Wanu dialect. As its English subtitle—"Come Let Us Sing Song And Clap Our Hands"—suggests, the piece is an energetic invitation for the congregation to lift their voices and hands in praise. It carries the vibrant, rhythmic joy typical of Nigerian choral music, making it an excellent choice for the Entrance procession or a festive thanksgiving moment during Mass.

The arrangement opens with a bright call from the sopranos and altos before the full choir joins in, building a sense of communal celebration. The recurring chorus anchors the song, giving the choir a solid, rhythmic foundation to express their joy. Singing in indigenous dialects like Jukun brings a special warmth to the liturgy, allowing the faithful to connect deeply with the music and the act of worship.
