"IMBALU" FROM HILLS, A GIRL'S PRIDE!

-
Life strays from the East, sun rises and the mountains seated on the horizon while the sounds of the early bird echoes as a young beautiful girl straches through the window complementing the day!
Areal View Of Mutoto cultural heritage center.
" What a day that lives to see me today, the sweetest sunrise makes the east of my origin"
"A loud knock on the door sounds repeatedly calling out, Sandrah wakeup!, it's a cultural day, wakeup and we trek down the mountain before Mutoto cultural grounds turns dust and dusky. An echo rebounds in the background while both answering "Awowoo! Awo yaya" signifying the #ImbaluMuliro, yes we must catch up the day before the west assumes darkness".

 Sandrah 's  friend at the door repeats the knock making an angry fold on her face, tall and slim in a tender dress while her  black bag hangs from the left hand with ease, the door opens nearly and shuts again prompting her into the room in return.
Sandrah: "Immaculate, good morning, how is your Mum today, is she aware today is 3rd August 2024 and this is today to witness history in #Masabaland, cat or dogs, we are moving to mutoto as planned!" 
Immaculate: Yes,  Mum gave me Malewa to take to the cultural site since it is our custom and tradition.

Sandrah: "find yourself a seat while i take a bath quickly"!
The sound of kadodi is heard  as immaculate as reminds the friend,  today is a cultural day! remember Peter is getting circumcised tomorrow in the evening.
 Sandrah recites the song ( ooh awoyaya! ooh owayaya!) while she rashes out to finish the bathing.

As the sunshine brightens the morning, two boys join the road calling out on them to slow the pace while they join in accompaniment!
Are two of you heading to the Mutoto or moving out early to set off Bruno, he is getting circumcised tomorrow late in the day.
Sandrah recites the songs as she dances to emulate jubilations calling for craziness to come after today.

Uganda and Kenya shares cultural norms and practices blending the traditions from far east Bugisu region trailing through mountains of elgon. The culture taps origin of Bamasaba and Sabinyi natives adding to Pokotis on west horizon of Kenyan hills seated at Bugoma with representatives.

"Kadodi dance is a traditional dance performed by the Bamasaba people, also known as the Bagisu or the Gishu, who live in the eastern part of Uganda and the western part of Kenya. Kadodi dance is mainly associated with the Imbalu the male circumcision ceremony that marks the transition from boyhood to manhood among the Bamasaba. Kadodi dance is also performed at other occasions, such as weddings, festivals, and cultural events"

I'm uganda, the Bamasaba people celebrate every even year at the cultural heritage center depicking the center of origin with tradition symbols and spiritual landmark at the main stream as a habitant for the two masters witnessed during the innogration.
3rd August this year, INZU YA MASABA together with the ministry of tourism, wildlife and antiques celebrate it in full representation with other African countries of similar attachment.
