Highlife music, deeply rooted in Nigeria’s cultural heritage, has long been a source of joy and unity, reflecting the country’s diverse musical legacy. However, this genre of music has experienced a decline in popularity in recent years, as modern musical trends have overshadowed its traditional flavour. This decline poses a threat to Nigeria’s cultural identity and history. The Enugu Christmas Fest aims to revitalize and safeguard highlife music, not only for its cultural significance but also to ensure that future generations can embrace and honour this distinctive musical tradition.
