Odunke
Odunke was a festival traditionally celebrated in Awka-Etiti, and Oraukwu in Anambra State, Nigeria from ancient times. The festival seems to be peculiar to these towns in Igboland. The Odunke may be described as a huge carnival with a grand ceremony and feasting as well as a display of material wealth, opulence and social status incorporating all the arts of the community in a harmonious relationship. The festival served as name giver for a talented group of Biafran artists of the University of Biafra (later the University of Nigeria) Nsukka, called the Odunke Community of Artists.
