Bright Chimezie

Bright Chimezie (born 1 October 1960) is a musician from Nigeria.

His music style became known as Zigima Sound. It is a genre which became popular in the Eastern part of Nigeria in the early 1980s.[1] It is a mix of traditional Nigerian music and igbo highlife fused with chanted vocals. Bright Chimezie used it to revolutionize the musical structure in Nigeria with lyrics that focused on social issues of the country in a rather funny way.[2]
