Biography of sam ojukwu chinwend actor
t was early 1968. The Nigerian civil war was raging! I did not know who he was until I listened to his choral group the St Marys choir, Uruagu Nnewi, render several melodious numbers in the main bowl of the then St Marys church.
He was the choir master, he was the music conductor, he was the pianist.
Biography of sam ojukwu chinwend
He was stylish in his displays, fleet-footedly roving and prancing magnificently from his spot in front of the choir to the piano. He had a unique and stylish choir conducting movements, moving his hands, arms and at times seemingly trying to elongate his gait so that those standing at the back of the choral formation would be seeing him without obstruction.
I was about 8 years of age but was always mesmerized. At the time and as a little boy, I did not quite have a deep sense of music appreciation. But I fell in love with the awe-inspiring displays of Sam Ojukwu as the choir master and my love for music, which waxes strong till this day, began to take shape.
