  • Description: The main theme of this song is affection for the Kipsigis country. He also asks 'why the white men should have taken over the country' which incidentally they themselves took from others in the past. He comes, he says, from the Sotik nearby. The name 'Chemirocha' is their pronounciation of 'Jimmy Rodgers' whose gramophone records were the first to be heard in the district. It is now synonymous for anything strange or new.

  • Description: Chemirocha the mystical singer, 9based on Jimmy Rodgers the American guitarist) is at Kericho, they say. 'Why'. He is said to have visited a friend of his at Ituna! The similarity of the two instruments, the guitar and the local lyre has given rise to the legend of this wandering player whose records have been heard but whose presence is a mystery. The young men having sung this version of Chemirocha said that it was really their sisters' song, but they were too shy to sing it. Eventually the girls were persuaded to sing and gave us the next version.
