In moments of trials and tribulations or in times when we await in great expectations for the miracle of God in our lives, we tend to cherish songs of adoration and worship so well. Listening to them keenly, we realize the true meaning of the words of the lyrics and it motivates us to reflect more on the magnificence of God.

The first time I listened to Nara Ekele by Dr. Paul Eneche ft the Dunamis Choir and late Osinachi Nwachukwu, I was marvelled by the rhythm, melody, heavy instrumentation in the song (especially the lead guitar), and above all, the lyrics itself. I wondered why it took me so long to listen to the song. Although, I'm not surprised because I hardly listen to music. However, I am glad I heard the song at the right time, and I cherish it so much.

Nara Ekele is an Igbo song of adoration, praise and worship to God. The song reflects the spiritual yearnings of man to render all thanks and adoration to the Lord of the Universe; the Creator and Sustenance of all there is. It praises Him as the fountain of our Life and our true solace; one that we should rely on at every time in our lives.

The progression and cool vibe of the song is one I love so much as it gives one much inspiration to give in some heavy but sweet solo or improvisation.

This is obviously one of the longest music videos I've done one Hive. I didn't want to stop because I actually wanted to play more because of how spirit lifting the song is. But, I had to stop at some point.

I hope you enjoy this piece. I recorded the instrumental with my guitar, to give it a perfect background track.
