Answer 2

You didn't even Google this first. If you had, you would have found the website available at the link below. At that website - a blog - it says the following: "Ekele Kua es una expresión afrocubana que significa´así mismo es", o por lo menos ése es el uso que le conozco desde que nací. Si viene del idioma yoruba o del mandinga no me resulta demasiado importante, dejo esas precisiones para los estudiosos de las lenguas. Yo más que estudiarlas, las practico."
