HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO NIGERIA'S FOREMOST FEMALE FLUTIST, "EBELE THE FLUTIST"

She is chocolate skinned, slim and slightly tall with a model-like figure who has long been poised to bubble up into the gospel music scene and had to constantly keep alive that unwavering belief that music can be made to impact lives in more wholesome ways.

She is an award winning flutist who has been recognized by CAMA, a master of her instrument and plays with incredible technical precision as well as with great sense of passion and swing, and what’s more, has most probably gradually but surely, been single-handedly destroying the stereotype. We are talking about none other than Ebelechukwu Sandra Ezeamakam, Nigeria’s Foremost Female Flutist alias Ebele The Flutist. Join us as we celebrate this rare germ on her birthday today, Tuesday, July 12, 2016.
