Gospel artist, el Mafrex invites listeners on a heartfelt journey back to his roots with his latest release, “Christ Obong” — a vibrant declaration of love for Jesus Christ, the King. Translating to “Christ, the King” in the Ibibio dialect of Akwa Ibom State, Christ Obong is a contemporary reimagining of a cherished traditional gospel song.
Inspired by memories of his childhood, el Mafrex recalls singing the original version alongside his grandmother — a moment filled with joy, movement, and spiritual connection. “This song brings back those sweet days when my grandmother would sing and dance,” he shares.
It is designed to be a simple sing-and-dance song.
It is available on all media platforms.

LYRICS:
What you’re doing, what you’re doing right now
Let it go, let it go and sing
Let the sound of your music play
C’mon now with your dancing shoes
Let me take you down to Africa
All the way to Akwa Ibom
This is how we love to raise our praises
We’re basking in the love of Jesus Christ
