It features a mix of instruments, including guitars, horns, drums, xylophones and percussion. The music is often built around call-and-response singing, with the lead singer echoed by a chorus of backup singers, and is performed in many local languages, as well as in English and Pidgin. It is performed during weddings, funerals, festivals and naming ceremonies, often with lyrics that reflect current social issues such as health, education, relationships and social norms and challenges.
