The struggle with many a rigid Logooli cultural practices

  The Logooli community is one of the deeply cultured societies – with near everything supposed to have been done as per custom – to allow another custom to follow. One example is that for a mature man (with a child or more) to be buried, there must be a house structure at home. Another is that a boy must be circumcised and nursed in father land.

You will be shocked , it could be that the music of Saniaga progenitors had oromo, nubia, arabic influences. The uglyness of being assimilated. my hypothesis here.

[04/08 5:03 pm] Lung'afa: The love I have for Ohangla, benga & Limpopo would suggest a luo origin...though lingala reigns

[04/08 5:18 pm] Peter Kirima: I love music from Mali, berbers/touregs,oromo and arab influences

[04/08 5:22 pm] Mudengani Kisia: Lingala is closer to taita, and so is taita closer to l'logori. When I speak some say inaenda kama kitaita.

[04/08 5:38 pm] Peter Kirima: I have listened to comoro language spoken comoros island and it south pretty much similar to Taita. I told people here that murogooli must have came along the coastline from the north and mingled with other eastern bantus....

[04/08 5:40 pm] Lung'afa: Bibilical story could be some long time 'oral' story told to preserve tribes. Any community that doesn't think isn't 'israelite'? a a

[04/08 5:41 pm] Peter Kirima: The tribes in South Sudan

[04/08 5:42 pm] Lung'afa: That they are?

[04/08 5:42 pm] ‪+254 795 401807‬: Are the most strongest people

[04/08 5:43 pm] Peter Kirima: They carry the most ancient african gene

[04/08 5:43 pm] Lung'afa: The atlantis? Titans? Cyclops?

[04/08 5:44 pm] Lung'afa: Lamuka, how strong? One could be how many llb's?

[04/08 5:46 pm] Lung'afa: And there are beautiful songs sang in previous years by varogoori. They aren't being frequently played

[04/08 5:49 pm] Peter Kirima: I am yet to hear maragoli songs. They can be so cool.
