Very great observations

This is completely the age long Ekombi dance of the Efik people of Calabar.The music, drumming,the vocalling,attires and the dancers are all pure Efik custom and culture.This is truly the Ekombi of the Efiks not the choreography by imitators. Incidentally,except you are Efik you won't understand the secret in the dance steps.Although the neighbouring tribes try to copy,the difference is always clear.

@@f.a.archibong251 the neighbouring tribes don't try to copy. But they most likely emigrated from same culture. That's why languages, names and culture are similar

The Ekombi dance is the best traditional dance in the world

The Efik Eburutu people are part of the lost tribes of the Ephraim family of Israel..The word Hebrew got corrupted over the years to Ebru..Eburu as the sourjouned from the Red sea across Africa.The word Eburutu got derived from Eburu a corruption of Hebrew and Ututu(a town in Afikpo)the Ebrus sojourned at before moving down the River Cross to Arochukwu,Uruan and finally to CALABAR in search of the land of Canaan.That is why Calabar to the Efiks is also. Canaan City.

My mum is from Ikot Nakanda My dad is Uyo I love to be part of this dance The song and the dance move me al ays

See such Numerous uplifting Replies. Very REAL. I love and endorse these Replies. Once a Dancer, never forgotten

Efilk edi mbakara

Nice

Peace Leo Can you explain the relation between Ibibio and Efik? They were all apart of the Kalabari Kingdom?

Peace Leo and me too

there is nothing like'I'M FROM AKWACROSS'....if ur from akwa ibom,ur from akwa ibom and vice versa

@@sengekehinde6093 . States are abitrary. In the 80s both states were one. The cultural similarities are all that matter. Efik and Ibibio (which I am) are definitely a people divided.

@@thewordsmith5440 Yes I will explain to you ibibo is the origin of both cross river state and Akwa ibom Ibibo _from ibibo we the efilk, and other languages We are all the same people

Blessed Ngoe these people are ejagham (called efik in Nigeria)

Blessed Ngoe, they are the same people separated by boundaries..Calabar shares boundaries with the Orokos of Cameroon..

Nice one

African Child ejagham and efik are two different tribes from the same state. Ejegham don’t dance ekombi, they have their own dance.

@@abohohio4239 good to no that

Sorry,if you are not Efik,you will never grab the Ekombi steps..Maybe you could learn the choreogrphed imitation.I bet you even if you understudy the dance shown in this video for ten years,you will never be able to dance the original Ekombi of the Efiks of CALABAR unless you are Efik.

This is EFIK culture. Not akwa ibom. Leave people’s culture alone.

I love the Efik culture am happy am married to an efik man

i luv my Efik culture.

Bodie Essiet There are actually various Efik proverbs being used in different songs. We hope to welcome you back soon😊

If you live in the United States, you should bring your kids to the annual Efik convention so that they can interact with other Efik kids

Mmaedem I would like to find out more about it this. Where will the convention be at this year

abiriba ikprikpogu

Mama Africa

This is not Akwa Ibom dance mbok

We can see videos by Instituto Superior de Artes in Havana Cuba hopefully there are website and email address.

and great Afro Cuban Dane courses

Are you ejagham? Cause they are the Same as Efik

So similar, Please do you understand a word in the song. I think Nigeria and Cameroon have so many things in common

Definitely that part of Nigeria

manyu dance 100%

Absolutely spot on! ayooooo! love ekombi!
