Gospel singer and worship minister Purist Ogboi brings the energy of Igbo praise music to her song ‘El-Gibbor’, a celebration of God’s goodness and faithfulness.
The song draws on the popular traditional Igbo praise rhythm, giving it that lively, infectious sound that gets you dancing almost immediately. It is full of energy, with a simple message of thanksgiving at its heart.
“El-Gibbor has done for me what no man can do.”
That line says so much about the message behind the song. El-Gibbor is a Hebrew name meaning “Mighty God”, found in Isaiah 9:6. Through the song, Purist gives thanks for the things God has done that no man could have done for her.
What makes the song even more enjoyable is the way she blends the Igbo rhythm with a message that anyone can relate to. We all have moments when we look back and realise that certain things could only have been God. That is the kind of testimony this song celebrates.
The official music video brings even more life to the song, capturing the joy and excitement that come with praising God.
If you enjoy energetic African gospel praise, ‘El-Gibbor’ is definitely worth a listen
