Description

This traditional song, Eku Rakwa Nama is an Aroma Marshall Lagoon lament about misogyny and domestic violence. It is a folk song from Kapari village and the composer of this folk song is a woman and she's unnamed. But she is in an abusive relationship and names her husband who abuses her daily. The story goes that one day she decided it's enough and walked out of the house and left home, walking along the beach and crossing rivers and streams to find her beautiful home hoping she sees that her mom and dad are coming to fetch her rescue her. Unfortunately she hasn't made it so clear message to all that No Violence to Women, which is very topical these days.
