Description:This recording was made at a wake keeping the night before the funeral of Geoffrey Adjabeng, a clan leader. The men gathered at one of the meeting places in the village and spent the night giving speeches, singing and drinking. This event was recorded by Sammy. No outside observer was present. This recording includes some speeches and conversation. It has not been transcribed or translated. In this recording the son in law of Geoffrey Adjabeng, the man who died, is welcomed by Godwin Edzeani. He is introduced to the gathering by his 'father' in Vane, Ben Baku (people from outside who marry Avatimes usually are put in an Avatime family). At 4.20 a son of Geoffrey Adjabeng, Divine Adjabeng, speaks to thank all the people for helping the family with everything surrounding the death of his father. He offers gin to the people present. At 5.30 Tsiami Atsu Ganusah speaks and accepts the gifts. Only Avatime is spoken in this recording. Godwin Edzeani, Ben Baku, Divine Adjabeng and Atsu Ganusah all give speeches in this recording. Sammy records.
