Abbey Lincoln
A tour of Africa in 1972 resulted in the adoption of two more names for Abbey Lincoln. From President Sekou Toure of Guinea she received the name Aminata, denoting a “divine mother.” The Minister of Information, Mr. Sacomi, of Zaire, gave her the name Moseka, meaning “goddess of love.”
It was often as Aminata Moseka that she occasionally performed during the 1970s. She penned the play A Pig in a Poke in 1975 and oversaw its production at the Mafundi Institute in Watts, Los Angeles, in 1976. Lincoln closed the decade with the release of the album People in Me in 1979.
