Wow! After all these years, its so nice to see this video clip from the Efik National Convention held in New York City in late July 2001, before the Twin Towers were destroyed. I was at that beautiful gathering along with my family. It was a spectacular event and I saw a shot of me at the beginning of the dance routine. I also saw a shot of my cousin Asuquo Ukpong (RIP). I knew very little about Cuban Ekpe (Abakwa) at the time. Now it all makes sense, having read and review Dr. Ivor Miller's writings about the trans-continental movement of the Ekpe Society. Thank you so much for posting this documentary. Keep up the good work. What's the contact information for the organization BTW.
Gran comportamiento he ? En cuba es puro desastre porque se piensan que ser abakua es ambiente y guaperia chuuu que ignorancia de equivocacion por eso han decaído tantooooooooo y mala famita bendiciones para los de verdad 👋
The Cuban Ekpe people had maintained their cultural heritage throughout the Slavery ordeal to these modern days, God bless you, from Calabar Nigeria.
