Ekpo dance is interactive, between the dancer and the drummers who follow the lead of the lead drummer who plays the nkorok ekpo, a set of four to five talking drums. In Annang land, every year you can watch them live on the proper market day as they parage their villagers in celebration of the tradition of our people.

[EKPIKOT]

This is EKPO of the ANNANG tribe from the village of Afaha Obong in Abak, Akwa Ibom State. The event was staged for a commercial video production. The full video is available at some online stores.

The Akwa ekpo leads the ekpos into the circle (anwa ekpo) for the dance. After parading all the ekpos and dancers, they go back to the enclosure, then are called one by one for their dance.

I think you are wrong because we aro's have Ekpo also although the dance is a little bit different from the video and its different from ekpe.
