Description: The mysterious singer and dancer, Chemirocha has been turned into a local god pan with the feet of an antelope, half beast, half man. He is urged by the girls to do the leaping dance familiar to all Kipsigis so energetically that he will jump clear out of his clothes. The name Chemirocha is based upon the guitarist Jimmy Rodgers. Humourous song, with Chepkong 6 string bowl lyre.
