Achicatao = The blouse (Field Card)
of International Library of African Music (ILAM), in Hugh Tracey Fieldwork Collection and the Sound of Africa Series, TR011 (1956) , 1 page(s)
The singer's wife asked a tailor to make her a new fashioned blouse. He did so and she was very happy and delighted with her new blouse. The origin of the word 'Achikatao' is obscure, possibly from the Portuguese chita -- cotton print fabric or Chitâo -- cretonne.
