AS TAUGHT BY BOBI
Section titled “AS TAUGHT BY BOBI”CALL:
| common spelling | common pronunciation |
|---|---|
| Omo si tomo si to | oh-moh |
| Ile alaye komo yokoto | ee-lay ah-lah-yay koh-moh~yoh-koh-toh |
RESPONSE:
Same as call.
NOTES:
- Sung during closing of drum.
- 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
OlokunorInle. The way that Bobi teaches the song for Olokun, it saysIle(as in house/family) instead ofInle. Not sure what is more accurate… in these situations, it is best to just listen to the akpwon (vocalist/chanter)!
