Description:Four different people pour libation before the burial of Madam Ama Sena Bansah, the spokesperson of the "queenmother" of the Nyagbo. The first person represents the father's family, the seond person represents the mother's family, the theird person is her son who represents her children. The final person, who is the spokesperson of Sroe represents the whole Nyagbo community.
This project aims to document the langpouage and culture of Nyagbo. The people themselves refer to the language as Tutrugbu. Although also referred to officially as Nyagbo (also spelled Nyangbo), one of the groups that speak it prefers that we use Tutrugbu. Tutrugbu is a Ghana-Togo Mountain (GTM) language spoken in the Volta Region of Ghana. The project was funded by the NSF Documenting Endangered Language Program from 2006 - October 30, 2009.
A number of people who are representative of one or the other part of the deceased life (her children, spokesperson, father family and mother family) each pour libation for her safe departure to the land of the ancestors.
