Se me paran los pelos de punta yo soy guanabacoa tierra de varias tierras de abacua esa es mí raíz tierra de mis ancestros es algo para mí muy grande amo mí folclor cubano no hay otro igual.
Connected "somehow" you say? No, my friend....not "somehow" but "DEFINITELY" . All this comes from your land. The rhythm, the flavor.....Yoruba and Bantu. Congo region.
Abacua... I believe it is time for these persons in cuba to trace their roots to the efik people of present day Cross River state in nigeria, west Africa. This is so much of Ekpe culture. These are descendants of Efik/ibibio people.
No disrespect, but what do you mean. This history is widely know and celebrated. They’re not accidentally continuing African traditions. Cubans, we know where we come from and fought to be able to practice.
lol 😂 I don’t think you’re a afrocuban , we know exactly who we are , yes we are EFIK , and we call us as such , Yoruba is something else , Yoruba is our culture because there were more Yorubas in the slave population than Efiks , that’s why we call ourselves Yoruba like the group’s name , our culture is Yoruba but our identity is EFIK , cuban accent is Efik accent but many white racist cubans will say our accent comes from Canary Island in España but no it’s abacua , cuban music and its afrocuban instruments as well , remember : we know who we are and have kept the Efik tradition alive better than in Africa . ❤
Can someone please explain what the costumes signify? I know they’re supposed to be spirits known as Ireme or something like that but what’s their story?
Some say that functionally each official.of their original Engbe (Leopard Society), a society of elite merchants among many small ethnic groups in what are now River + Cross Rivers states in S Central.Nigeria coastal Nigeria. (similar to ??? US Skull + Bones Society.? etc. Each level.official had an Ireme masked costumed male dancer for that level.
Ekpe means leopard. It is a men's secret society amongst the efik and ibibio people in cross river state and akwa ibom state in present day nigeria - west africa

Cómo se llama el cantante
Asere ekobio
Plsssssss.... ABAKUA IS NOT YORUBA. THIS IS MISLEADING. ABAKUA IS EFIK
Maybe you got some confusion there. Yoruba Andabo is the name of the group …
