In the vedio is a group of students dancing the Ogene dance just to give you a peep at it. You will notice that the dancers have furry sticks in their hands. Their waists, legs, necks, and wrists are adorned with large red beads. If you are wondering why, please, do not wonder any further. It is all part of the culture. I told you. It is beautiful. So, Like I always say, as you watch this vedio, please, enjoy the Ogene coming to you from the great continent of Africa.

Still in mood for some music and entertainment? I would like to take you to the land of the Ibos the Yorubas, and the Hausa people.This week we are taking a stroll into Nigeria, the land enrich with overflowing oil and beauty. Located a little above the equator and two countries away from Ghana, Nigeria is over 356, 669 square miles. This is about three times the size of Germany and six times the size of New York. From the Ibo people of Nigeria comes the Ogene dance, which i will be focusing on.
The Ogene is a dance named after a metallic musical instrument, Ogene, that comes in a pair.Traditionally, the Ogene instrument is known to be an instrument for calling assembly and the ancestors, but clearly that is not its only use. Combined with other instrument, the Ogene instrument creats rhythms breath taking enough to shake some rigid legs. Dancers of the Ogene dance move their legs according to the 4 step rhythm of the Ogene instrument.
