Episode 18: Legba and Six Roads

In this episode Raafeke returns solo and kicks off the latest collection inspired by the Igbo nation of Carriacou. He goes into detail about the Igbo people in Nigeria and abroad, taking us to Haiti and tying the famous lwa, Legba into the conversation with historical facts and his own supernatural experience. This is followed by the introduction of the Big Drum Dance Song "Ibole Ibole Woy Yo/Dondon Banane" which is recorded in 1962 and again in later years, including 2014. Raafeke concludes the episode by narrating his short story, "Legba and Six Roads", which is inspired by this religious song.
