BraideO!'s Sound Lab! Excellent recording. Great sound quality and detailed use of Unimic's to pick up all instruments. We need to see more of such professional recordings of our traditional music, because these are indeed treasures that can't be duplicated. Also, thank you for the sub-titles which help non-Efik speaking audience members to follow the proceeding. Thank you very much, and please post more clips, because for those of us in the diaspora, it is a life-line. Eburutu for ever!
Correction on the caption on this video the song to...."Ebonko is the gift at birth, when a father loves his child he initiates him into Ekpe" that is what the song says and not ......"only the son he loves..." but "CHILD he loves" ....."Eyen" in Efik means Child and not Son... girls can be initiated too into Ekpe hence Child.
@@migueltrujillo5932In ancient, African traditions that's the way it's done. You people, continue to promote the generational curse on yourselves by living a lie.
You are right. "Eyen" means child not gender specified. In the original ancient traditions or cultures things were actually different from all this modernised version of traditions we are seeing now.
Mfon Emana Edi ke Efik
Proud to be Efik .. Odukpani all the way

I thank RUclips for preserving these folklore. I hope this would help posterity to main our heritage.
Tradition is our culture, culture is tradition
