Burnaboy Onyeka Painting

I love the dance vibe my painting is giving. I literally danced as I painted the lovely woman inspired by Burnaboy's song, Onyeka. He performed it for the 2021 Grammys. She is wearing a traditional Efik dance/wedding attire called the Ofod Ukod Anwang. Those who perform a traditional Abang Dance, the dance of beauty and femininity, wear special headpieces called Ibuot Abang. They are mostly decorated with bird feathers that are fastened to flexible cane stems. This is called Basinko. Such dancers usually have multiple strings of beads around their necks. They are colorful and bright and meant for additional decoration. They are called Nkwaesit Itong. The colorful raffias that are worn on dancers’ hands are known as Ekpaku Ubok. The raffias that are worn on legs together with bells have the name of Mkpat Etim. In addition to all this, the dancers wear a kind of skirts made out of cane and called Akasi. Such details are meant to attract additional attention to the waistline of the dancer. In accordance with the traditional Efik visions of female beauty, a healthy attractive woman should have a full waistline. The Efiks are a tribe from the SOUTH EAST of Nigeria. The canvas will be shipped rolled in a tube.
