Iri Owuna Tamuno

"Iri Owuna Tamuno" is a reverent prayer song set in the Ijaw language, calling upon God ("Tamuno") as the ultimate Lord and owner of all ("nyanabo"). The repetitive opening lines build a sense of awe and surrender, making it a fitting piece for moments of quiet reflection and supplication during Mass or dedicated prayer services.

The steady 6/8 rhythm and layered harmonies give the song a gentle, swaying momentum. As the choir moves through the verses, declaring God's sovereignty and seeking His presence, the melody carries a profound sense of peace. It is a wonderful choice for choirs looking to lead the congregation in a heartfelt, indigenous expression of faith and dependence on the Creator.
