[sounds] [interview] “Akua” shouted from a passing car
prayer groups in school playground begin melodic singing
Sorry that’s a cat call, that’s a cat call for her. They just called you Akua. Akua is the female name for a Wednesday born. They just call you anything, I mean for example if I pass by a man they can call me Adwoa, Abena, Akua, Yaa, until I respond to one of them, (laughs). Monday, Tuesday… you have to be born on one of those, you have to be born on one of these days so you respond.
