Ayub Ogada demonstrates a Nyatiti (African instrument)

[@richardgaya3965]

A true cultural Icon.... you helped place the Nyatiti on the same pedestal of iconic and unique Africa's musical instruments as mbiras, the koras, the talking drums of West Africa etc .R.I.P. Wuod Luo!

[@AbstractSurrealist]

Ayub Ogada the legend. One of my all time best!

[@djshockafrica4330]

Rest in peace Ayub Ogada, Kenya's treasure.

[@asheru9254]

OMG he's no more? May he rest in peace❤️❤️

He is so wonderful.

Pure brilliance!!

[@hasmukhpatel4085]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the wonderful musical instrument.

[@dizzzawn]

Love this clip! If anyone else would like to hear more of this kind of music, I found a station on Pandora called "African tribal Spirits radio" and they play this musician as well as other similar ones. It's my new favorite station!

[@africatruefiresounds2175]

Very fantastic. This is africa true fire sounds

[@CliveAkhahenda-wd9qn]

I have always loved Ayub speaking because he was a teacher. Even the term Karthum meant a place of learning or teaching, and that's what his studio was. I miss him, and few except Alan Donovan who started the first African Heritage Band knew of his greatness, along with his peers like Gido. Wish I could have spent more time with him.

[@sharonlesaldo1746]

God I miss this man! RIP AYUB

Wow fishing line sounds better than you’d think

[@CliveAkhahenda-wd9qn]

I didn't catch the Pun at first, but I have family in Western Kenya, and I lived in Texas to know what fishing "wire" is, but Love the guys music, as he wsd a genius, and also miss him as well

Sounds strangely like a steel drum.

What is the tuning notes please?

[@fifiachichi1385]

We didn't migrate from Egypt but from Sout Sudan.

[@africanusworld9302]

Modern 'South Sudan' was the mother of the Egyptian Kingdom (Itiopia being the GrandMother, and the relatives of the Luo peoples the Anuak being the original Itiyo-pi-Anu), and stretched beyond the borders known today. It is not inaccurate to name modern 'Egypt' as a Luo migration point, for the original area and Kingdom of Ancestral Lwo was of great distance, completely different to the current temporary borders implemented via Arab and European colonisation. Blessings to you Sis

[@asheru9254]

South Sudan was brought into existence in 2010 don't argue but learn how to learn and research, we came from all the first cataract between Egypt and Sudan

[@Tmaria-wn3hc]

we came from egypt then went to south sudan all nilotes did our ancestors are nubians

[@kr3539]

@@Tmaria-wn3hc I hate when people make such ignorant statements, Nubians originally came from a group CLOSELY RELATED to Nilotes before they mixed with Afroasiatics, so in no way, shape or form are they our ancestors.

[@kr3539]

@@africanusworld9302 I keep hearing people pushing this narrative but with no evidence your argument is weak. Copts are the closest thing to ancient Egyptians and they have the DNA to prove it. You clearly don't know anything about Luo people, if you did you'd know that the Anuak are 100% Luo, we do not consider them relatives. The Nilotic presence in ancient Egypt is not a thing of debate, we traded with them but to claim that we founded their civilisation is a stretch.

[@reagancapwell685]

I like his music but as a Jaluo don't appreciate connecting our culture to a slave empire like Egypt. We didn't build any monuments but we still have dignity in our culture. No need to co-opt someone else's.

[@oduoropalowakili2936]

Know thyself...you great descendant of the pharaohs of the Nile. Stop with the self pity and research before you speak.

[@asheru9254]

Don't be a fool brainwashed by European Christianity.

[@mrmister1657]

reagan capwell uhh...Africa has many monuments dude

[@sania3631]

He said he migrated... with the instrument.

[@jemts5586]

It's not co-opting to point out a cultural connection though.

[@StopFear]

Was Ayub Ogada sick with anything? Seems he was skinny and aged more than just due to age?

[@kr3539]

False, the Luos have not been living in Kenya for 2000 years. The Ajok reached Kenya in the mid 15th century, that's 500 years. Shocking how Luos don't even know their own history.

[@kiLLiF]

You are narrating what a white man told you with affirmation

[@kr3539]

@@kiLLiF Do your own research instead of assuming I'm like you. Our migration into Kenya is well documented by Luo scholars such as Bethwell Ogot, and it's confirmed by our mwa and lang'o neighbours who we displaced.
