  • Description: Bolo achieved an unenviable reputation for having neither shield nor ostrich feathers, and for being an univited guest at drinking parties. The playing drums by these Nilotic people is usually far simpler in rhythm than that of the Bantu. It appears to be essential in Luo society near Kisii to have your shield and your ostrich feathers with you when you attend a funeral. Bul dance song for men with Bunde 5 bass drums, laced and Gara leg bells (-12.55-).

  • Description: This is a lament at parting with friends, in which the English word 'Sorry' (now adopted as their own by Kipsigis) predominates. As one of them said "It is a misery giving song". The effect of the song was rather spoiled by one of the young men who took it upon himself to show off during the recording. Lament with Chepkong 6 string bowl lyre, laced.
