The Ajofia and the Oss: an imaginary journey from Igboland to Kernow W/ WilB

The Ajofia and the Oss. Two masquerades from distant parts of the world - west Africa and west Cornwall – yet looking like long-lost twins. This mix soundtracks an imaginary journey of the Ajofia Nnewi masquerade from Anambra State, Nigeria, via the Sahel and the Sahara, to meet the Obby Oss in Padstow, England.
