  • Description: The player flips the bridge of the lyre with a finger tip as he plays. The song is largely a repetition by the chorus of the words 'olei yo lalei yo' a kind of "Hey - nonny - nonny." The singer also brings into his song the names of many places he has visited and likes in common with his audience. Both Kipsigis and Nandi are noted for their patriotism, their love of country as such, which they frequently express in song. This is comparatively rare with Bantu people who do not as a rule praise the beauty of the countryside and are mostly insensitive to scenery. Praise song with Chepkong 6 string bowl lyre.

He played the strings with his left hand and beat a simple pulse on one of the resonators with his right hand and miming the action at the word "Ndito", 'truly'.
