Ritual Or Cultural Object by GiovanniS: 6:11pm On Sep 08, 2014
Hi everybody.
I'm trying to translate and spread the african poetry in my country. In particular I'm reading Femi Fatoba. I'd need help to understand this three verses:
"The blood that binds
when I use my brother's skull
for AWURE soap".
So, what's the Awure soap and what's its function? Why does he talk about his brother's skull? Does it have a religious meaning or is a metaphor?

Sorry if I've written in the wrong category, and thanks for your help.
