  • Listen to the akpwon (vocalist/chanter)! You may hear the first word as Osain ... or as Ewe .... Both of these are just different variations that a singer may choose.
  • Another variation that you may hear is adadara or dadara; the difference being an ah sound first. Again, both are just different variations.
