The Akamba dance




The Akamba tribe is among the 42 tribes that are found in kenya.
Kamba have many kinds of song ranging from lullabies,circumcision,marriage and hunt songs,however
drums used during Kamba dance song differ with songs.
During my recent visit to machakos,i found that though  culture is fading away  among communities,there is some  organized kamba group that are still vibrate in the kamba traditional dance.
With a clear perception the group continues to entertain themself, dancing in ceremonies and gatherings with the songs and dances conveying the people's aspiration,hopes and fears.
The language used in this dances depicts on people's norms and  traits with regard to sorounding,following long  time of experience.
