Chisco Umueri, or Chisco Onye Mgbago Umueri as he’s known in the highlife scene, brings a unique flavor to his live performances that’s hard to match. Hailing from Mgbago in Umueri Okebo, this Anambra State native has been rocking stages for over two decades, starting from his roots in Ogene Sawa music. He’s now one of the top names in Omabala, and his performances are the kind that make you want to grab a front-row seat well in advance.
Chisco’s live shows are more than just music; they’re a cultural experience. He uses satire and allegory to critique the political and economic landscape, often weaving in stories that resonate deeply with his audience. In the track “Umuleri kwuva aka oto,” for example, Chisco doesn’t shy away from calling out those he believes are responsible for the abduction of a prominent community member, Chief Charlie. He cleverly twists the names of the suspects, adding a layer of humor while making his point.
But it’s not all serious business. Chisco also knows how to get the crowd moving with hits like “Akwuna ga ebe Akwa nwa na una nka” and “Iguedo Nno, Kenneth nwa Obalim.” His songs are as much about celebrating life as they are about educating and uniting the community. When Chisco steps on stage, you’re in for an evening of sharp wit, deep grooves, and a whole lot of heart, all delivered in that rich Omabala dialect that makes his music so authentic and unforgettable.
