| Abstract: | A field report on the organization and functioning of a particular song and dance club within the musical and poetic traditions of the Anlo Ewe of southeastern Ghana. Primary focus is on the individual poet-cantors and their methods of composition and transmission, and how these relate to some aspects of oral poetics. The social context of the group's performance is also examined. Notes, ref. |
