- 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. Praise song with Chepkong 6 string bowl lyre.

- Description: The words of the song are largely meaningless, or of old poetic usage and do not lend themselves to translation but perform their useful fuction as vehicles of a dance tune. As it was raining hard at the time of recording we could not see the dance in action. The dance song was recorded under the thatched roof of a shed. Dance song for men and women with whistles.
