Renowned gospel artist el Mafrex returns with a powerful new single titled “Christ Obong”, inviting listeners on a heartfelt journey back to his cultural and spiritual roots. The title, which translates to “Christ, the King” in the Ibibio dialect of Akwa Ibom State, is a vibrant, contemporary reimagining of a beloved traditional gospel song.
“Christ Obong” is more than just music—it’s a declaration of love for Jesus Christ, presented through rhythm, melody, and memory. El Mafrex shares that the inspiration for this release came from a deeply personal place: memories of singing with his grandmother during his childhood.
“This song brings back those sweet days when my grandmother would sing and dance,” he reflects. “It was pure joy and spiritual connection.”
Infused with warmth, movement, and simplicity, Christ Obong is designed as a sing-and-dance gospel anthem—easy to join in, uplifting to the soul, and perfect for congregational or personal worship.
Now available on all major media platforms, listeners can immerse themselves in the spirit of praise and heritage that el Mafrex beautifully captures.
