It was a good moment as DP Hon Rigathi Gachagua landed in Kisumu City and received with CS Education George Magoha and Mp Sylivanus Oroso dancing to the Kisii Folksong at the ongoing Kenya Music Festival Gala in Kisumu City.
The DP took to his Twitter account and said he had enjoyed playing Obokano, an instrument famously among the Kisii region which is played during happy occasions like weddings and traditional dowry negotiations (Ekerero). Obokano in Ancient days it used to be played after war victory.
Mr Riggy G as nicknamed affirms that Obokano remains a great instrument for performance by Kisii Polytechnic during the Kenya Music festival, Kisumu County.
The Deputy President was accompanied by several leaders across the country among them South Mugirango legislator Hon Silvanus Osoro, Bomet County MP Hon Linet Toto among others joining Education CS George Magoha in Kisumu for the Schools’ National Music Festival finals.
During the occasion it got jiggy with it as looks like Education CS Magoha was unable to join Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Kisumu Governor Prof Anyang’ Nyong’o in dancing along to some traditional songs.
DP Rigathi Gachagua posed for a photo with students of Santa Maria School among others. The event comes after a 2 year break since the outbreak of COVID-19 marking the Gala Awards for the 94th Kenya Music Festival at Kisumu Girls High School.
