Hive Afri-christmas Volume 4 || A Cover of "Egwu Anumanu" (Song of the animals)

Hello friends of the hive Afritunes community ,my name is @jesus-son and I welcome you to my blog on this occasion of the fourth edition of the Afri-christmas event. It is my desire join in the joy of the season with you all and thus enjoy with you and you with me.

The Christmas season is a season of love. It is the season when love is born anew and people are reminded of that wonderful gift we received as far back as more than 2000 years ago when our Lord Jesus, being God, descended to the earth and took the human flesh to save us from all our troubles.

It's been awesome listening to some few persons who have made their presentations for the Afri-christmas event and I wish to compliment these persons for the courage and their talent.

The song I present for this event is a song that is very old, infact I got to heae this song when I was still very little.

Then when I was in the higher institution I got to know another version of it as recomposed by one music director called sir Curis, one very talented person I came to know some years ago that also contributed in a very great way to my learning of the piano and the violin.

The song I am talking about is titled "Egwu Anumanu" which means, song of the animals. It is a song that depicts the situation at the birth of Jesus Christ.

Jesus was born in a manger, that is where animals are kept and it is imaginable that being God, perhaps the animals were in adoration to Him.

So this song depicts how the animals possibly would have praised the new born King born in their midst.

Jesus' birth is a great example for us. That being God, he was not born in the richest of all cities and family but in the poor Nazareth and poor family of Mary and Joseph.

Jesus shows us how He identifies with the least in the society and calls each one of us to imitate Him. The Christmas season therefore is a period to touch lives.

Making this cover is fun and inspiring for me and I hope it meets my aim of sharing it here. Thanks for listening and God bless you.
