<p>The video captured the heartwarming moment between the content creator and the music veteran, whose song <em>‘<strong>Gwo Gwo Gwo Ngwo</strong>’</em> found renewed fame decades after its original release.</p>
<p><em>“39 years ago, he made magic (Gwo Gwo Gwo Ngwo song). 39 years later, we danced to it again. Now, he rests, but his melody lives forever. Rest in peace, legend,”</em> Brain Jotter captioned the post, paying homage to Ejeagha’s enduring musical legacy.</p>
<p>Originally released in 1983, <em>‘Gwo Gwo Gwo Ngwo’</em> experienced a remarkable revival last year after Brain Jotter featured it in a viral dance challenge. The challenge captivated audiences across platforms, garnering over 29.1 million views and 30,000 comments on Instagram, and an additional 19.6 million views on TikTok.</p>
<p>In recognition of the late musician’s impact and to appreciate his work, Brain Jotter personally visited Ejeagha and presented him with a cash gift of â¦2 million during the visit.</p>
<p>Mike Ejeagha, widely regarded as a pioneer of Igbo folklore music, leaves behind a rich archive of storytelling through song, and his death has been met with an outpouring of tributes from fans, artists, and cultural commentators across the country.</p>
