In 1942, in Agbarha-Otor, a master storyteller named Aminogbe sat before a circle of children and performed the epic tale of Eraguamire, the brave warrior and his seven magical dogs on a perilous hunt for the fearsome monster, Kalumudo.
His performance was electric. Dancing, prancing, embodying every clash and triumph, Aminogbe drew the children so deeply into the story that they became heroes in their own imaginations.
Among them was a ten-year-old Bruce Onobrakpeya.That night, as he walked home, the magic stayed with him, eventually transforming an oral legend into enduring visual art.
