‘I want to be a student but I no get biro’, ‘I want to marry one girl but mi mama no gree’ - despite seeming ‘rugged to the core’, Agaba masquerade songs tell very personal stories of police intimidation, lost girlfriends & thwarted ambitions. Hear more at bit.ly/3QoAAgo

UNMASKED features a specially made Agaba mask carved by Tonye Agala. Made from golden wood which is soft to work with & very light once dried out, it contains no Agaba spirit. Its design was inspired by older masks, Agaba photos & images in newspapers. bit.ly/3ILXfxN

The Agaba is one of the enduring masquerades of the oil-rich Niger Delta. On the surface Agaba masking enables the men to appear physically, politically & spiritually ‘rugged’ but Unmasked shows that behind the mask, the songs they sing are tender & ironic bit.ly/3RQHObI
