Tag: The Nkwen Traditional Anthem
“M̀BANƏ̀” is the Traditional Anthem of the Nkwen People. It is an original song that comes forth from our forefathers as a symbol of peace, progress and unity. According to our forefathers it signifies three things when sung. A) Calling on blessings upon the Land. B) Calling on blessings upon Married Women to remain healthy and fruitful in marriage. C) Asking for peace, unity, understanding and progress in any gathering. Thus, it is an obligation for any son or daughter of the Nkwen Fondom to Master and sing it correctly. This video will be of great help to the people of Nkwen and is also a means to preserve the M̀BANƏ̀.
