  • 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: "When we fought the Masai we beat them. We captured their women and their cattle. We defeated these 'women'. At home again, we slaughtered some of the cattle and gave half the meat to our chief. Before the white men came we had plenty but they have taken our country." So sing the Meru. But history is not quite so partisan. The scraping noise at the begining of the item is the rubbing of the spears on the bound part of the shield. Fighting song with Kisengele bells.
