SOMTUP
Baga Masculinity Spirit
Spirit of Male Initiation
He looks after male initiations and rites of passage. We are talking secret handshakes, bits of anatomy threatened with scissors and surreal shenanigans in the woods with the lads. All to prove you are a man.
Nowadays the same effect can be achieved with much less embarrassment by purchasing the right brand of aftershave.
As you might expect, Somtup has a female equivalent, his wife a-Bol. She must have been impressed with his choice of aftershave.
