Luanda Reggae Defenders is a now a popular movement with roots in Vihiga and border Siaya and Kakamega counties Attention is brought to the manner and conduct the movement has gained fame and followers, mainly the Youths. 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.

The Ziganyu

A picture of Peter Idagwa at Wanadanya village near Demesi. 

Found at Nadanya, down waDemesi, the people of Idagwa occupy the land bordering the upcoming Nadanya Dispensary. The Idagwa are brothers to Mongoi and Murida of Vohovole.

The earliest known ancestor is Savaru, as Peter Idagwa, 80, reported. Savaru begot Ziganyu. Ziganyu begot Idagwa and Iravuna with the first woman, Mongoi and Murida with the second.

It happened that Ziganyu's first wife was mukana wa Asembe, muMuku from Nadanya. Her name, Midarimo. She left marriage and came back home, with a son called Idagwa who grew there and was given land by his grandfather in law. She would also conceive Iravuna later with Ziganyu still but between the two, with an Idakho woman called Ruyayi, Ziganyo begot Mussa Mongoi and Murida, people of Vohovole. 

Iravuna would later 'die' in war and his children at Nadanya were raised by Idagwa.

Idagwa would then buy the land up, where the dispensary is coming, below neighbors who have now been displaced due to the upcoming facility. Down where the father in law gave him land, it is Tito, his son who has children there. Up, Peter Idagwa and Juma Jumba went. Of all these, Peter Idagwa is alive.

Interested with all the family's genealogy is the wife of Peter Idagwa, a Nyore woman who has often paid homage eVohovore. She was often with Idagwa when Peter was away, a pump service man in KNIB.

And she had gotten pregnant with her first child, and was born. Idagwa then used to attend baraza meetings iSavatia. And he heard of a kin called Lumadede who had died. Coming back, and the daughter in law with a child, he named him Lumadede.

This Nyore woman, Miriam Reso, reported that her people, vaMuri, are also found in Maragori, ivuSachi. Not far from Nadanya, after crossing a stream called embogo, the Nyore land starts, Westwards.
......
I would also capture another genealogy of Chimiywi who begot Chahenza of Nadanya and another brother who is said to have gone to Munzazi. Chahenza begot Erasto Okombo, Jamin Otwere, Elisia Ahaza, Adidi, Muteve, Mudembeke and Vidoro, all of waDemesi.
