Ikwokirikwo (Ikwokilikwo)[1] is a high-tempo style of Igbo highlife music influenced by Ogene, which gives the style its fast-paced signature. The style emerged in the early 1970s. It was popularized by the Oriental Brothers and later by Kabaka Guitar Band.[2] It was pioneered by Oliver De Coque and Prince Nico Mbarga.[3]
