Need Help?

• Listen to the akpwon (vocalist/chanter)!
  • You may hear ayuya or aya. (One vs. Two syllables - so this might be depenant on the tempo?)
  • You may hear Ayaba or Achiba. (Bobi sings this as Achiba; Afolabi documented this as Ayaba.)

Resources

• Ritual Songs as taught by Afolabi
• Oba Class with Bobi Céspedes on Feburary 21, 2022 (link)
