Remarks:
"Musique Kabrè du Nord-Togo"
The Efala are the first age group of Kabre initiates. During initiation, the young (about 15 years old) engage in a series of activities, especially wrestling, eating dog meat and a ritual game (on this track) that entails firing insults, sometimes quite rude, to the rhythm of Kacisi bells.
