LUO TRADITIONAL SONG BY ST.JOSEPH'S RAPOGI - NYANZA

The vigour, the energy, the uniformity and effective voice production defines a typical Luo performance. Kokuro Secondary School once scared the hell out of us when they performed before us at the national competitions. That's for another day, stay here for theirs plus Kanga High School. Meanwhile, St Joseph's Rapogi is on stage!

Reminds me of drama festivals 2008 at Agoro Sare, and Science Congress 2009 at Cardinal Otunga Mosocho. Rapogi was not your normal school. Their presence alone increased our heartbeats. 🤣🤣

Aero wa (expression), that is someone who is dominated by his wife who has gone to a chief's baraza, when he comes back his wife asks him, "What was discussed where you are coming from?" He replies, " Nothing much, but only the assistant chief who warned from now on every wife should respect her husband". So if you ever beat me again - you will see (transliteration = you will see with your eyes)

Many thanks for posting. I have just finished reading a memoir by the Kenyan author Binyavanga Wainaina called 'One Day I Will Write About This Place' about his mixed Ugandan/Kenyan heritage and his life, growing up, trying to be a writer, absorbing all influences of the different languages and styles, tribal differences and commonalities, not just in Kenya but in South Africa and West Africa through the turbulent times of the 70''s through to the 2000's. He talks a lot about the Luo, a minority. I knew a little bit about the instrument called the nyatiti and the orotu here, called by different names elsewhere. A great performance - the irony of the Colgate sponsorship..the christians...what they like..

[@Okwash1]

Luo are not a minority.
