Chemirocha

"Chemirocha" is a series of three field recordings made in 1950 by ethnomusicologist Hugh Tracey during his visit to the Kipsigis people of the Great Rift Valley of Kenya.

During World War II, English Christian missionaries visited the Kipsigis tribe of the Great Rift Valley of Kenya.

"Chemirocha III" was sung by young girls with high-pitched voices as they danced, and it was accompanied by a stringed instrument called a kibugandet.

[3] In 2015, the team was able to find Cheriyot Arap Kuri, an original singer in "Chemirocha I", who declared that at the time he did not know what Tracey was doing while recording and that the tribe sang to entertain him.

As for the mention of Rodgers as a faun, the son of chief Arapsang, Josiah, offered as an explanation that the mistreatment of the Kipsigis by the colonial government made the tribe consider them "man-eaters".
