.
The adavatram (‘madness has overtaken me’) is no ordinary drum. It has seven human skulls tied around it and human elbow bones are used to play it.
.
This war drum is associated with mostly the ewedome. Now because there are no wars, they play it at the funeral of chiefs and warlords.
.
The adavatram is played only seven times and no ordinary person can dance to it. Only chiefs, elders and great warriors, or those possessed by the ancestral spirits, may dance to its music. It is usually played at midnight, and before it is played strangers are warned to stay away from the proceedings.
Ewe History.
