I am from a Caribbean island and this music is embedded deep in my genes, listening and watching those ladies dance makes me cry with ancestral feelings and joy.
I drive some Luo musicians to Wales. In the United Kingdom. We stopped for a break, nowhere special, entered a small, suspicious, silent, country pub and took a drink..Someone suggested they play a bit, so they did, performing all this above. After15 minutes the entire pub..sheep farmers, tourists and locals were taken to Africa and were on their feet dancing....Wonderful!
The colonialists messed your music with that mwomboko dance with that xylophone...but legend has it that luo guitarists went to akina Kamaru's bands and akina Queen Jane and Mugithi was reborn... True Cultural diversity..
My best driving music.Am a kikuyu,lived and worked in siaya.Its my second home.Driving all the way from siaya(alone) to Thika with this playing in the car.Best drive ever.
I can see images of my long gone ancestors expressed in the faces of the dancing women, and in the rich cultural rymth of this musical genious performance. Thank you all and please let save this world from destruction, with love from Barbados❤🧡💛💫💥.

When drum like is main instrument then it becomes Ohangla music. The rest are accompaniments. So in this set are two music genres namely Orutu (Being played here) and Ohangla (Drum lying) but not in play. When in play as lead instrument the music is Ohangla. Both, however are in some situations played together depending on preferences to form a mix of either Orutu or Ohangla.

The old grannys, love their dance. Aloka you should have shown us more of them... All these reminds me of funerals those days, Aloka was the man to play in disco matanga after burial, then when he's left and everybody's gone you start to feel the gap left by the diceased and the loneliness downs on you and you now know your loved one is really gone forever never to return.
our Alego grannies does no mistake when they take it to the dance floor I promise you this was just awarm up dance.......am nt swallowing my words u can see if you have naked eye......
I jut met nice Kenyan guy at the gym in Tokyo and he showed me this! He told me many stuffs about Kenya 🇰🇪 He has great passion and he told me he will build school in Kenya one day. We promised that I’m gonna perform in his school! We will make it!
I have no idea what they are singing about but there is something otherworldly about this tune. It would make a good ending credits song for an African-themed documentary.
Modern Ohangla producers are starving us our original beats, Y'all doing really great job still . yes n congratulations n I salute y'all esp #WuodFibi . I beg you guys to please pick few elements from our original sound n make it complement the beautiful modern Ohangla you've reinvented it into.Reggae created Dancehall,to date modern Dancehall borrows few original instruments from the ancient reggae roots music.just a request family .love you all again..

Hi, I am so keen on learning more about my brothers from Tanzania, I'm a Luo from Uganda (Acholi/Alur). Up until now, I didn't even know there was a Luo tribe in Kenya.
@@patrickstarshooter5221Luo is one of the biggest and most popular tribes of Kenya. Great Luos include Raila Odinga, Jaramogi, Barack Obama Snr and Jr., Lupita Nyong'o. Those are big names globally.
This is so cool... This is true talent and display of African culture. We should promote this kind of music. these old ladies are so modest and so beautiful. Am proud of them. Congratulation to Aloka Ohangla. Keep it up brother.
This should be a serious career path. It'll surely employ a good number of people if well promoted, with music composers, singers, choreographers, instrumentalists and instruments manufacturers getting good business.
Watching in 2021.....it will NEVER AGE!!!! The underlying humour!!!!! Just amazing!!!!! This is what the so called gentrified rumba-like version is clearly missing and in addition missing out on!!!! The real very soul and spirit of the music!! One can see it in the mien of the dancers!! Observe as the spirits of the departed ancestors seem to take hold of the occasion towards the end!!
Thank you for recording and sharing this amazing music! Phenomenal performance! Amazing instrument. Ethnic music of African people always moves heart strings❤, it is always seems recognizable.

I am from Meru but man I must admit Luo music is dope.
Absolutely...that Orutu kills as a Rhythm section....and it 'talks'.

That was so fantastic. I wish I was there.
Wonderful moment it must have been,by any chance you recorded a video?

I concour with u lugs..very true
Disco matanga was Africans way of dealing with grief
We should have public places reserved for these kinds of music at least once a month so the youth can have a glimpse of what our music used to be like
our Alego grannies does no mistake when they take it to the dance floor I promise you this was just awarm up dance.......am nt swallowing my words u can see if you have

How I wish such bands can exist into the future. The old me to dance to this in 2060
Hahaha
they came to play in my step grandmother's funeral. back in 1997. We danced .the whole village came the young and old .
Iam a kikuyu I can't understand luo but I can't get enough of this song..🎶🎶🎶
Played this over 10 times. We love our Luo friends ⛸🇰🇪💯And All other 40+tribes Kenya is better without AlShabaab and haters🇰🇪⛸💯💒🔭🚦❤️🖤💚

Juogi, now this is the music without borders .
Hits differently with the drum beating as the heartbeat.

Otieno Aloka was a real traditional instrumentalist. A pure musical staff. Not the current hybrid instrumentation.
Even him he's succumbing to the 'laziness' of the keyboard; programs everything, then plays alone!☹
This should be a serious career path. It'll surely employ a good number of people if well promoted, with music composers, singers, choreographers, instrumentalists and instruments manufacturers getting good business.
Very true.
pure and natural music, this is when music was music

Good music but have you seen any piano, mixer or computer somewhere? Onagi wadog uru e tiendwa.
