"Are these Eastern Nigerian Igbo kids? The music sounds so familiar to me, I don't speak my language but I recognise the musical style, sounds very Igbo. I thank God for Youtube, so I can see all these beautiful videos. Such a blessing."

I transcribed these lyrics from the sub-titles that were given in that video. Additions and corrections are welcome.
*”Hey” is spelled “Hei” in the subtitle.
**"H-E-K-K" may just be an approximation of a sound that has no meaning.
***I think that the non-English words in the section beginning with "Kai Walayi" are in the Igbo language and the English words are their translations.

For informational reasons and not as a criticism, I want to share that people who speak English as a first language wouldn't say
ReplyDelete"Lift your hands.
Lift your legs.
Lift your head."
Instead of "Lift your hands", English as a first language people would probably say
"Raise your hands".
Instead of "lift your legs", English as a first language people would probably say "Stomp your feet".
Instead of "lift your head", English as a first language people would probably say "lift our eyes (to __)".
English as a first language people also say "lift our voices" and "raise our voices".
HEKK means HEavenly Kingdom Kids. It's an abbreviation
ReplyDeleteBy the way I'd be very happy if you could give us a biography about these children. Does the group still sing together? Are they from the same family as Destined Kids (nigerian singers kids)?
ReplyDeleteHello, Anonymous.
DeleteThanks for your comments.
I looked but can't find any biographical information about Heaavenly Kingdom Kids.
I'm pretty sure that they aren't the same family as the Nigerian singing family group Destined Kids.
Fans of Destined Kids might be interested in this link that I just found to photos of those singers grown up: http://www.nairaland.com/3301309/destiny-kids-then-now-photos.
Enjoy! God bless you.
But I love theme so much because of how they are singing and about the Lord.
ReplyDeleteThey are so inspired by the God's love.
ReplyDeleteHi. Please how how can I get the complete albums of H.E.K.K in Onitsha I seriously need it
ReplyDeleteHello, Anonymous. I'm sorry I can't help you as I know nothing about these Nigerian singers other than what I find online. Hopefully, someone reading this will help you.
