July 2024 the vibe still 🔥🔥

[@samuelochieng6345]

For us who grew up in the 1980s and 90s can attest that whenever Otieno Aloka visited your village to perform in a function, the whole village would come to a stand still the whole day

[@linusogweno5912]

This is so cool to watch....I work in part of the world where women of that age are either in wheelchair, walker or using a cane at best, not dancing their legs off. Show more of these lovely women. They are so beautifully active and happy and true representation of Luo culture.

This song connects me with my grandma whom i grew up beliving she is my mum when my mum neglected me ..now my grand ma is late but this song brings her spirits i me when i dance she is next to me ..i even feel her presence. Am dancing on her behalf..
