@egm, aco,mwariwadavid, kayliz, sue:true true!theres loads about african/kenyan culture that is truly amazing, but we're slowly killing our uniqueness.hmmm, you know many of these traditional acts could earn a living teaching people these things abroad instead of having some people teaching fake african dance/music classes..on that note, ebu i go tafuta a orutu i make me some dollaz!you guys remember that primary book that had loads of trad instruments we had to memorize...;) anyway, hope youre week anzas vizuri!
I stand to be corrected but I think that Japanese, Luo and Swahili are similar as in you pronounce words the way they are written. No silent words like in English and French. I know some Jap. Cigarrete is Sigara and so is the same in Swahili. Lighter is raita!..bla bla bla...
Was in awe of her as I watched this...somewhat embarassed that I don't seemingly have a great command of my language and or culture as she seemingly does...
That is truly amazing, thank you for posting it. It is inspirational what human beings can do with a little dedication. I am proud to say that I speak my mother toongue even after leaving Kenya when I was really young; and I was suprised to go to Kenya and find my cousins do not speak the mother tongue at all. It is a shame, but to many that is what they call maendeleo.

Dang! Yaani that woman has won! And in 3 years pekee! No one can claim anything is too hard to do, jameni.
Too good! It's really amazing...
She knows way more about Luo culture than I do - and I was born here. Is that sad?
I agree the mama is really talented.. She knows too much bana.. It narrows down to determination anyway... :)
