About Wa Gia Ghogho

"Wa Gia Ghogho" is a vibrant Edo song of immense joy and thanksgiving, calling the congregation to celebrate the salvation brought by God. The title translates to "Let us rejoice," and the music bursts with that exact feeling. With its lively, rhythmic solfa arrangement, it is a favorite for festive occasions, especially when the choir wants to lift the spirits of the entire church.

The lyrics beautifully weave together themes of the Nativity and divine praise, making it especially powerful during the Christmas season. The cantor's soaring lines proclaim "Uyi nọ n'Osa vbe he nọ yo see" (Glory to God in the highest) and "A bi Jesu" (Jesus is born), while the choir responds with an infectious, driving ostinato of "Ọghọghọ nọ" (It is a joy) and triumphant Alleluias.

Choirmasters often program this piece as a rousing Entrance or Recessional hymn on feast days. The layered harmonies and the call-and-response dynamic in the coda give both the cantor and the choir a chance to shine, sending the congregation out with a profound sense of gladness and celebration.
