The movement capitalizes on funerals. With a poor culture of putting the dead to rest, the Reggae Defenders have taken it by storm and rebranded the infamous ‘Disco Matanga’ – disco at funeral.

They have this huge old school sound system that is over buzzing to no clear reggae song - that they hire a pickup to carry - and it has a young DJ mainly standing there than mixing anything. Often, against the rules, the casket is grabbed from a hearse vehicle and tied to a motorbike. There it will be swayed and jerk breaked between other motorbikes on the narrow roads.

Ndikakwangare urikavora yaga!

To scratch the surface of the assimilation dynamics of Mulogoli, Avagihayo, who are actually Luo, were grafted as one of the *Musuva* clans.
There is evidence that some of the Avasuva in Vihiga have relatives in Suba, Rusinga Island.

That is how you get names like, *Onam* among the Maragoli. 
_Onam_ in Luo means, he who is from the Lake/Lakeside.
If it was Luhya, the name would be, *Inyanza*

To stir your imagination, the Jaramogi Odinga Odinga family are not Luo.
And that is why that don't use the Luo names like Odhiambo, Onyango, Atieno etc, none of of the sons or daughters of Mzee Jaramogi bear a typical Luo name.
They are rumored to be Avasaniaga.
Odinga is a Luhya name.

This does not equate to the one people used to pull on us about Moi and _umwana wa Amoi_ ...

However, the Odinga family would never want this information to be in the public domain because of the political ramifications in Luoland.

Umulogoli Achamihanji za, vayanze vasuli.

Simeeda ku ilindi Dave, gahele kumunyi avamusomeye ku hano.
Naambuli umundu nahela ku ichova yila, nangwambakane wahugana 😇
