The Ọja (Oh-Jah), the Igbo talking Musical flute Instrument, is significantly connected to spirituality due to its ability to communicate with an individual. Believed to be the only African musical instrument that speaks to gods, calms down an angry spirit, and gives courage and strength to the weak, the Oja flute is an integral part of the rich cultural heritage of the Igbo people in the eastern part of Nigeria in West Africa, continuing to play a significant role in their musical traditions. The oja is a renowned African musical instrument in Igbo land cultural activities or events, and its spirit-intoxicating enchantment can lead men to perform great exploits.
The oja, the Igbo flute, is a flute skillfully carved from wood or bamboo, with three finger holes by the sides, cut into different shapes and lengths. Held with both hands and played by blowing across its open top while covering and uncovering holes along the body, the oja produces a mysterious but beautiful high-tone sound. It is also played with other instruments such as the percussion, drum, bell, rattle, and gong.
The oja is an exquisite and portable musical instrument that is easy to transport and convenient to carry around, making it a valuable part of the Igbo cultural heritage. Its enchanting and spirit-intoxicating quality has led it to become a renowned African musical instrument in Igbo land cultural activities and events, with its ability to communicate with the divine and influence human emotions playing a significant role in its enduring cultural significance.
