Dada Kaba Ti Binka Tigoro

"Dada Kaba Ti Binka Tigoro" is a lively, rhythmic offertory song that brings the vibrant energy of Northern Nigerian melodies into the Catholic Mass. Composed by Edwin Gambo, the piece is deeply rooted in local culture, referencing "goro" (kola nut) and "farin ciki" (joy or happiness)—powerful symbols of hospitality, thanksgiving, and celebration in the region.

Choirs typically sing this during the Offertory or as a thanksgiving piece. The driving solfa rhythms and call-and-response sections make it a joy to sing, encouraging the congregation to step forward with their gifts in a spirit of genuine gladness.

The arrangement features a spirited chorus that anchors the piece, interspersed with verses that build in texture. The interplay between the voice parts, especially the moments where the alto leads before the full choir joins, gives the song a dynamic, communal feel that resonates beautifully in the choir loft.
