“After the Kipsigis tribe of British colonial Kenya purchased a crank phonograph, they became great fans of Jimmie Rodgers. This song, titled “Chemirocha,” is an invitation for him to come and dance with them, and was recorded in Sotik by a young girl called Chemutoi Ketienya and some of her girlfriends.”

this song is the greatest song. and it’s about obsession and girl gangs. what more can I say?
