Igbo culture

Igbo culture (Igbo: Ọmenala ndị Igbo[1]) are the customs, practices and traditions of the Igbo people[2] of southeastern[3] Nigeria. It consists of ancient practices as well as new concepts added into the Igbo culture either by cultural evolution or by outside influence. These customs and traditions include the Igbo people's visual art, music and dance forms, as well as their attire, cuisine and language dialects.[4] Because of their various subgroups, the variety of their culture is heightened further.
