RESPONSE:

Same as call.

NOTES:

  • It seems as though this song may be sung for Olokun and Inle.
    • John Mason has this written in a different way for Olokun and Inle: however, the tell is that the second line starts with Olokun or Inle. The way that Bobi teaches the song for Olokun, it says Ile (as in house/family) instead of Inle. Not sure what is more accurate… in these situations, it is best to just listen to the akpwon (vocalist/chanter)!
