Kofi & Afi — Born on Friday (Reprise) 🎷 Ewe Day Names | African Smooth Jazz

The Reprise take — Afi's portrait: the same Friday wandering spirit, her side of the story. Kofi — the Ewe name for a boy born on Friday. Afi — his Friday-born sister. Among the Ewe people of Ghana's Volta Region, Togo, and Benin, the day of birth is the first name a child receives — spoken before any other. Friday-born children are held, across the wider Akan-Ewe naming family, to be wanderers and adventurers — restless, easygoing souls drawn to the open road. In Jamaica the same Friday soul survives as Cuffee, one of the Maroon founders' names. Warm tenor saxophone with a light, airy kete drum touch.
